My mom now will have one of her bunco babes with her - I so remember all those crazy ladies on bunco nites - and I am continuing the tradition - May God be with you and your family!

1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
- John 14:1-3
