She was a great friend to have and we shared many visits and walks outside here at Bethel during the years we were both living here. A great, intelligent lady with a great sense of humor.

Your Mom was an amazing woman! To join the peace corps & venture to S Africa...WOW! I always had so much respect for her. She did God's work there for many years. May she rest in Eternal Peace. May your hearts be comforted with your many memories until you meet again.
