Her dynamic singing uplifted Bluff Creek congregation many Sundays as she sang: Tell Me Who's in Charge, Let Your Light Shine, Holy Spirit Don't You Leave Me, and Old Land Mark. She praised and honored the Lord until her last day. As we reflect on her life, remember she is now praising above with her heavenly father because she knew who was in charge of her life. And a jewel she was.
