Not sure what to say?

Dallas taught me Bible in the Acad back in the 60s and I grew up with the boys. Later I cared for Kay when she was a resident at Shepherd's Care here in Greenville. She loved the Lord and she loved to laugh. She could find something humorous in nearly every situation. I loved her dearly!!! May God continue to bless her ministry and the many lives that she touched!!

Her life and legacy speak as her voice on earth has been silenced to forever praise our Lord and Savior for all eternity. Our lives connected through my parent's ministry in Togo and then later as my youngest sister married their son, Terry.

Her smile and especially her passion for missions has been faithfully passed on. May many receive the baton and continue the race. Beautiful feet who will carry the gospel of peace with God through Jesus Christ.

Mama Kay, your finger...

I have good memories of Dal and Kay, first in Greenville and then in Togo (part of a summer in the 1970's) seeing the Blind Center ministry and helping them and three other couples start learning Ewe. Kay had a heart for the Lord and for people, and she was always thinking of the next step. I look forward to renewing fellowship in Glory. And I look forward to seeing your family this morning at the visitation--may the Lord comfort and bless you all.

I loved Grandma Washer! Back in the late 70's and early 80's my church in IL supported them in Africa. They came to the church and the school. She came to the elementary classroom and held the children spellbound. My class became pen pals with her and Dal. So glad she has been released from the body of weakness!

The Lord's richest blessing upon you all. An amazing life!

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your loved one. Hopefully reflecting on all the good times you've shared together will help ease the pain that you feel. May "the God of all comfort" strengthen you at this time of sadness, and may His promise for the future bring you peace. Hosea 13:14.
