Lorenza Gene Madden
“For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for
my departure. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept
the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord,
the righteous judge, will award to me on that day – and not only to me, but also to all
who has longed for this appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:6-8
