The Duke family was in nearly every area of my life growing up from church, to my father's work, to sitting beside Sammy Duke for many years in school. I am still friends with the family today. Mrs. Duke is one of the sweetest Christians you will ever meet. She has touched the lives of many across multiple generations. She is very well loved by so many people.
Mary just celebrated her 88th birthday. She now has CoVid. The pulmonologist is not optimistic. Please keep the family in prayer. I will update when I learn something has changed.
