"Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." Psalm 23:6
On Thursday, July 4, 2013, Grace O. Olson came face to face with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It was a day she had been looking forward to all her life. Let us rejoice and find strength in the Lord.
