  My cousin, There is no doubt in my mind that on Sunday, November 3, 2013 our "Lord and Savior" said to you "Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ May You Rest In Peace my Cousin, Martha Ann Sanders.

  In an old English churchyard there is an inscription "who plucked that flower" cried the gardener as he walked through the garden his fellow servant answered "The MASTER" and the gardener held his peace.
