My deepest heartfelt condolences to you all, I will continue to keep the entire family uplifted in my Prayers.
From my family to yours, my deepest condolences & sending prayers for Comfort & Peace during this time..
To the family of Ms. Nikki, I met Nikki at OSU. I remember first seeing this beautiful young lady on the elevator and I thought this young lady has a calling on her life. She was quiet and guarded, no doubt wondering what I was doing, but I was praying right where we stood in spirit. Finally, she let her guard down and we talked during her shift one day, and often times after that. She spoke of her daughter so fondly and her desire to provide and be there for her baby girl. To her family, please be encouraged and trust that God sees and knows all things and although I know you sorrow in her absence it is well with The King and you will certainly see her again in Glory. (Matthew 11:28-30) Selah!
I’m so sad I didn’t get to say my goodbye I didn’t know of services time otherwise we would have been there I’ll always keep you guys in prayer love you all!!!
