Dear Ellen,



A friend of my husband's family passed away this week, and, looking for information, the name "Flo" jumped off the page at me. Even though we haven't spoken in 24-plus years, it seems like yesterday! You are in my prayers,

and I wish you God's peace.

Dear Ellen,

It has been thirty years since we attended Sunday School and Youth Group together at Calvary Memorial Church. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Just a few months ago I thought of you when I found the postcard that you sent from Norway packed away with the study sheets from Pastor's Class. It seems like only a few summers ago that Karen was making Rice Krispy treats at Pioneer Girls and walking with us to Certified to buy ingredients! May God watch over you and protect you. Karen's mansion in heaven is filled with the joy and happiness she gave to us on earth.

Love,
