Bon Voyage!

About the Book

I wanted to convey the many phenomenon things that surrounded the transition of my mom, Grace L. Hasson, Tyler Bullock. Additionally, I wanted to transmit how even though I knew Mama was great, I didn’t know just how great she was. As I was reflecting, I realized that numerous actions had taken place prior to her transition, and even after her transition. I wanted to put those events in writing so that someone may be helped in accepting that God is always in control and that in my Mamas’ life Grace and God made an agreement. Let the church say AMEN!
