Jan 25, 2012 - Came upon this while looking for Darlington, Mo where our kin are from. Didn't know Wanda Lee but am looking forward to meeting her in heaven. Lovely slide show about a lovely lady I know. I just had to set here and cry and sing along with those beautiful old hymns which we'll all join in a singing around the throne. Thanks for sharing, it was right nice.
