Lela was my Sunday school teacher for many many years. She has never forgotten me and always spoke to me at church up to a few months ago. Her kindness was natural and she always had the same sweet voice to go with her actions. She will continue to be a memory forever when I walk into our church. Bless her family and her memories. |
