Take care and be safe
Dr. Locord and Tom Wilson spent the Christmas Holidays with their girls Tiona and Dr. Tomika Wilson Greer in the home of Dr. Tomika and Jonte Greer with their two daughters Jayla and Tamyra Greer. Also, Jonte’s parents, Elder Johnny and wife Van Greer of St. Louis, Missouri were there. Locord’s Dad, Retired Lieutenant McKinley Douglas is also spending the winter in Houston. There was a lot of family fun.
