Heaven has gained a strong, steady warrior of the faith. I have been so blessed to have served Troy and Earline for many years through insurance, but they've always been more like friends than clients. I always felt such a warm welcome in their home. Much love to Earline and all of the family, and I look forward to seeing my dear friend again very soon.
