Dear John, Caroline, Stevie and Lucy,
I just learned of your mother's illness and recent passing into the presence of God and choirs of angels. How thankful I am to have had the privilege of working for your lovely mother and for hearing her testimony before the Geneva School assembly. We will all miss her graciousness and loving care for so many others. I will be praying for you in your grieving, but also rejoicing in the testimony of her life that has triumphed in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Love, Mary Frame

I send sincere condolences to you. God is good all the time...on the mountaintop and in the valley. God bless and keep you in His tender care. Christian love, Juaneil Strickland, Lake Charles, LA
