I remember decades ago before Dawn & I married, a group of us from Gross Road Baptist getting together to help Pastor Leon & Mrs. Roberta move into a house on Darnel in Mesquite. Their son Mike was Dawn’s Youth Pastor. Some of my favorites memories are sitting at her kitchen table listening to stories and eating her homemade desserts. She was a servant. Can’t wait to see her with the LORD … grateful she’s with Him now. Bless you Frank, Linda, Mike, Karla, and all the family … Dennis & Dawn Drake (Mesquite)
