My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
One such memory was the tea honoring Huis at the Baptist Temple in Houston a few years ago.

Blessings to your family,

I have thought of Mrs. Egge many, many times since she left Corsicana. She was a special friend. Robert and I speak often of her love for children and how she reached out to the Hispanic children in Corsicana long before anyone else. She would pick them up and bring them to Sunday School, Mission activities and choir. She saw to it than many of the children had food to eat and clothes to wear. Only the Lord knows how many lives she touched for Him. She was the kindest person I have had the privilege to know. I learned so much from her. She will never be forgotten.
To her family-"The Lord bless you, and keep you; the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance on you, and give you peace." Numbers 6:24-26
I, too, "rise up and call her blessed.

Our family remembers Mrs. Coy as a warm, vibrant, gentle-natured lady with the knack of making everyone feel special. We appreciate all the things she has done for us and for the Lord and for making this world a better place for everyone she touched. She will be truly missed.

Oh, how this marvelous woman will be missed but also remembered for who she was in Christ and all He used her for. The lives she touched and changed through the empowering Holy Spirit will never be known on this side of heaven but I am certainly one of them. May God comfort you and encourage you at this time of celebration at her homecoming.
In Christ,
