    A Wonderful Person, She Believed everyone on Earth has an opportunity to live forever the way it was meant from Adam and Eve days, in a Beautiful Safe World free from many things, we now experience. She learned this from writings in what is known as the Bible, from the great God Jehovah as she became his Friend. From David White.
