To: Carolyn, Tyischa (Sandy),
Joseph and all the Family &
Friends of Sis Portia Bland.

I know this may be a hard time for all of you, but remember God knows best. He is Omniscient (all knowing), Omnipresent (everywhere), and most of all Omnipotent (all powerful). Continue to trust and depend on God for everything and He will carry you through. Grieve if you must because this is human nature, but remember according to Psalm 30:5 that weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Sis Portia left a legacy behind, keep it alive and live your lives as she would have wanted you to.


Your Sister In Christ,
Regina Joshua
