Mrs. Archer was such a wonderful woman, and like another grandmother to me. I'm forever thankful God placed her in my life all those years ago. She was always looking for ways to share the Gospel with others, ready to serve, and always had a huge hug and a smile. Been missing her a lot lately. Love to the family. ❤
