Antoinette is home safe, well, happy and resting in the Gentle Arms of Jesus. Just picture the reunion with all of her loved ones and the Savior she loved so much. With deep sympathy and sincere friendship.
Today is January 27, 2019. I live near Mt. Vernon Illinois and quite disconnected from our old stomping grounds. I just learned of the passing of a very fine lady. I have known the Painter family for years since my childhood and have many very fond memories with them. It is my deepest hope that your family is doing well and the passing of such a wonderful mother eases her way into heaven. God Bless you all.
