    I first met Mrs. Grimes at Arcadia in Mid 2018 before she became so riddled w/pain. Upon talking w/her I found out that she knew my father who had passed away 20 years earlier. If was on father’s day in 2018 that she shared a comical story about my dad. I’ll never forget her sweet spirit and how God took an opportunity that day to use her in my life to share loving memories of my dad. Now she has a new body and is singing and rejoicing in Heaven. I’m so glad I had opportunity to meet this precious woman.

    We all know what LOVE feels like but if one ever needed to actually see LOVE it was surely a portrait of it found in Norma Grimes. To have known her you definitely saw and felt LOVE. Thank you Lord for sharing this beautiful Lady with us in our country-life setting for many many wonderful years .
