Grand Fannie's later days were greater than the former. A daughter after Father God's heart. She walked by faith and not by sight, she shared the Good News of Jesus, His death, burial, and resurrection. She has an intimate loving relationship with the Heavenly Father wanting all her kindred to receive salvation (children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, great-grandchildren, etc. Romans 3:23, 1 John 1:8, Ephesians 2:8-9 to come into the knowledge of the Truth be saved and have a real-true relationship with Jesus. Our beloved ran her race, finished the course, and kept the faith. She left us with a legacy of Love. She lived a long life, with Love and prayers for all people and a greater love for Lord Jesus. Tomorrow is not promised, all have sinned. Grand Fannie is in Heaven with Jesus. Titus 3:5. Love and Prayers Allan & Irvette
