Now, five months shy of her 109th birthday, Wallace — still in her wheelchair — was being lowered into the chilly water at the Norris Road Church of Christ in Memphis, Tenn.
Cooke would find it difficult to sleep the next few nights, as if it had been a dream and she might wake up to discover Wallace really hadn’t confessed her faith in Jesus and washed away her sins.

  Praise the Lord!!! God hears and answers prayer always. Sometimes it seems a long time to wait. I am so happy another soul came to Jesus Christ.
