Dear Campbell Family,
My goodness,I haven't seen you all in years I was a young girl the last time I seen you. Mike your parents were close friends with my gandparents Estelle and Ruth Clay. I attended the Hilltop Congregation with them when I was a little girl, Im with Central now. I have so many cherished memories of sleep overs at your parents house along with my three sisters and I tell you those were some of the best times. I miss them so. I can remember the book sudies there and oh so many memories to many to mention here. I am so sorry about your loss and you and all of your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May Jehovah continue to embrace and bless you all.

A loved one lost can grieve the heart, and make us yearn for tomorrow, when Jehovah will keep the promise he made of no pain, no death, no sorrow.

My love to you all

Dear Sister Campbell, Michael, Toni and family,

Gracious! I dearly loved that man so much for so long and for so many reasons. He went over my baptism questions in summer of 1977. His home was always open. His hilarious humor kept me in stitches. No one else could give a Cecil Campbell talk. But most of all, I admired his unending strong love for Jehovah and the friends. I can't wait to see him again, along with maybe "Tim Henry" and "Mother Fletcher".
