I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith; henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness. - II Timothy 4: 7-8 On Friday, March 14, 2014 an angel gently eased into the room of Sudie Marie Dudley Johnson at the Visiting Nurse Service Hospice and led her through the door of eternal rest.
