LaBelle Sherer Copeland

LaBelle praises and glorifies the Lord for the grace and mercy He has shown her during her life. She asked Him on January 21, 1998, how she could thank Him. He gave her an answer. He said, "Witness, speak out for me. Tell what the natural world is about. Tell your story. Let people know there is hope and that is through Me. I am the way, the truth and the light. I love you!"

Humorous experience while at CHS - Cheryl Frazier and I went riding with Virginia Presley {Billie Presely’s older sister} in her convertible through Shoney’s in Jackson. [I was supposed to be in Cheryl’s house just across the street from mine.] The police stopped us and made us follow them to the police station.
