Your love and knowledge of the Word was so very instrumental in Betty and I in our spiritual growth after we came to the Lord. You were a treasured friend for many years. We admired your deep love of the Lord and know we will see each other again. Our love and prayers to Rick and the family. We will be making a donation to St. Jude in honor of Melanie.
