I MISS MY BIG SISTER, VIRGINIA SMITH TAYLOR (“JENNY”), SO MUCH. I WAS OBEDIENT UNTIL THE END:
Dear Jenny,
From: JoAnne Smith Hooks Blog Site
When you and I were texting each other with laughter in each text at 2:06am Thursday morning, April, 22, 2021. You told me you were going to bed because of the late hour and we would talk tomorrow. Jen, I am still waiting on tomorrow. We said, I love you good night not good-bye.
Jen, when you sent my birthday gift Saturday, April 17, 2021 and you told me not to open the box until May 5th I thought you were punishing me…lol.. I was devastated. As I sat starring at that box, I called you to ask could I please open it? Jen, you knew it would be difficult for me pass by that box every day for 3 weeks not knowing what was inside. You broke and said, “Yes, I could open it.” I discovered there was a beautiful RED SUIT inside. I pursued by begging you to allow me to wear it to church on Sunday because I had to make a video? You said, “Yes.”
On Thursday morning at the 2:06am, which was our last text you went in on Facebook to see me in the RED SUIT and told me it was a nice fit.
Jen, since you did not see me with the RED SUIT on in person. This is what I have decided to do. On Saturday, May 1, 2021 if it is the Will of the Lord, I will say my farewell to you by wearing that RED SUIT to celebrate you in Arkansas. After that day Jen, I will not need to wait on the tomorrow because I feel that the Holy Ghost will give me closure. I pray you are reading my message, right now. I just want to say, I love you and I miss you so much, Big Sister!

IT'S HARD TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO MY BIG SISTER, JENNY...
My Big Sister, Virginia Smith Taylor whom we called "Jenny" was the glue for our family! I miss my Sister so much.
Help us Holy Ghost?
The Bible says, "He will never leave us nor forsake us."
We are coming in agreement and we believe by faith that it is done and it is so.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen

OVERCOMING THE TRAUMA OF BEING PHYSICALLY AND VERBALLY ABUSED
THE DEFINITION OF ABUSE:
Abuse comes in many forms, not all are physical. When someone repeatedly uses words to demean, frighten, or control someone, it's considered verbal abuse. Verbal and emotional abuse takes a toll. It can sometime escalate into physical abuse too.
Please join us as a panel of 5 Powerful Ladies discuss a topic, "Overcoming the Trauma of Being Physically & Verbally Abuse" on Thursday, January 21, 2021 on Zoom, KEPX Radio, Facebook Live and YouTube at 5:00pm (PST).
