Pat and Kitty, I was so sorry to hear about your Mom while we were in North Carolina. Your Mom had a strong faith and always encouraged me in the ministry of the Gospel. I remember she was such a faithful hearer to "Encouragement for Today" broadcast and would always cheer me on in my preaching. I will always remember her smile and cheerful countenance when visiting. She will be greatly missed and Penny and I are lifting you both and the family up in prayer.
