I worked at the Waco VA Regional office with Mr Smith. I am also a member of the ” You Are Worthy Ministry.” The ministry visit a local nursing home to minister to residents unable to attend church on Sundays.
Mr Smith was a resident for a short period of time at this Nursing Home. I would drop in on him to take him fruit and do prayer with him.
I got to meet Mrs. Smith when Mr Paul was a patient at Providence Hospital.
Mr Smith was a very nice …kind…and caring person.
He will be missed
Blessings. ????????????
