"Thanks" Oak Grove Community
My heart is overjoyed at the generous support and love shown to me by my Oak Grove family after the house fire. It has been three months and I am still waiting for the reconstruction to begin. There is a lot of paper work and the inspection has to be completed first. My prayer is that everything will be finished by February.
Thanks to everyone for your gifts, support and prayers during this very stressful time. I am grateful to have a strong, loving support system.
Happy Holidays to you and your families,
Brenda Woodley |
