Amazing

This post is dedicated to the memory of a lady that meant the world to me. Her name was Twick Morrison. I have known her since I was born. To say she was a terrific lady would be less than correct. Twick dedicated her life to Christ.....everything she did was with him in mind. She was blessed with a family that is out of this world. Twick was a leader in the Methodist church. She was able to travel to many 3rd world countries on behalf of the Methodist church trying to bring others to Christ. She was a very dear friend of my family. She loved each of us like we were her know. If there ever has been someone that was truly a representative for Christ it was Twick Morrison. She has left a legacy for all of us that will remain for years and years to come. Twick go raise your wings and fly high. I will miss you forever and ever. Until we meet again......
