The former Miss Arkansas leaned on her faith to get her through the past year. “God showed us then, and continues to show us, that He takes care of his children.

And one day, I will be so excited to sit with Craig and our Father in heaven, as we tell Craig about all the opportunities his family had to share the love of Christ with hurting people all over the world because of his testimony.”
