David, Michael, and family . . .
We were so sorry to learn of the death of Mandy. She was a joy to know, with her mischievous smile. She was in our First United Methodist "TWOS" Sunday School Class, and normally had an infectious smile. A memorable time, but concerning time as well, was when she was not to be seen in the room one Sunday, but "lo and behold" we discovered her, laughing and "happy as a lark" sitting inside the oven of the wooden play stove. A few years later she became a part of our Church Children´s Cherub Choir. She was "special" in so many ways, and we enjoyed seeing her mature and develop her artwork, some of which we purchased and have in our home. May your fond memories always warm your hearts (her joyous smile and hugs are our treasured memories), and may you find comfort and strength in God´s amazing healing grace.
Love and Prayers, Van and Mary Lett
