Jennifer Jones says:
Through my dear friend Tracy, I connected with “Aunt Susan” during the height of the pandemic, virtually. I had decided I would learn to crochet, and she signed up to be my coach. I can’t tell you how many times she helped me turn a mess into a masterpiece. She was literally my biggest cheerleader. I had hoped for a moment to hand deliver evidence of her ability to support this novice from afar, but I am grateful that our paths crossed, nonetheless. Blessings to her family. I pray God’s greatest comfort to you during this time and days of peace and joy to follow.
