So sorry for her loss. Precious memories and thankfulness as she joined Gary Lumpkin Sr. in prison ministry at FCI while he was able to do so. Just a small part of her life, but with eternal significance... as much of her kindness, always! Love and prayers to each of this precious family she loved so much!
