“I was just talking to my friend, Larry, about what it’s like when your parents sojourn to glory. My mom sojourned when she was way too young back in 2005, and then my dad passed away this past May, and I had the honor and privilege of being right there with both of them when they passed to glory. I just encourage you, when you’re with someone in their final hours, to just speak life over them, sing to them, stroke them…just help usher them from this world to the next glorious world, beautifully.” ~Lauren Kitchens
