Oh, my dear friend Allison! Such a mentor and true friend. Fellowship with her lifted your spirit to higher ground! One more precious friend to reunite with in Heaven as we gather round the throne in praise to our dear and great Savior!

The thought of Allison still brings warm memories, and I look forward to reuniting with her in Heaven one day, as we praise and glorify our Savior, "Himself," as a tract she shared with me so wondrously set out. Hope all the family is doing well.

Virginia & John, Thinking of you both at this time in the passing of your Mother. Mrs. Sullivan was blessed to have children as faithful & dedicated as you were to her when she needed you the most. As they say, "Actions speak louder than words". It was obvious daily at Riverview that you were there for her. (Reminded me of Proverbs 31:28, Her children arise up, and call her blessed.) My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear lady, sister-in-Christ, friend, co-laborer...how I look forward to fellowshipping with you again, in His presence, with resurrection bodies and unclouded minds!
Whenever I think of you, I think of "Himself," the title of a pamphlet/tract you gave me 45 years ago when you arranged for JoAnn Zipperer (Grooms) to stay with me a few days after our son Mark was born. I kept the tract for years, but now I can't find it.
Whenever I visited you in earlier years, I always left spiritually exercised, excited and uplifted. How you loved your Lord and loved to talk about Him - my heart warms thinking of our conversations, even though I don't remember the words.
Thank you, dear lady; and thank you dear Lord for letting this precious child of yours touch my life.
