    To The Skinner Family,

    We were sadden to hear of Mother Skinner’s passing. She was a kind-hearted sister in the Lord. Mother Skinner was always a quiet spirited sister in church. She was a good person and always had a lovely smile. We remember her willing hands and loving heart. May she rest in peace in Jesus!

    Love, Elder Charles & Minister Sandra Norfleet, Chesapeake, VA
