I am truly sorry for your loss. Mrs. Godair was a wonderful woman whom knew her profession well and always served in excellence with a smile. She would go out of her way to find the answer, solve the problem or make you laugh. She will always be special to me. God bless your family in this time and throughout your lives. I am praying for you and your salvation that you will see her again in Heaven.
