Mr. and Mrs. Beach were second parents to me. As a child and teenager, their home was a rock and refuge to me. Their faithfulness to God and family were a witness to me. I testify today as a church elder and Christian college professor that much of my early faith and family focus was a direct result of the Beach family. As Paul says of Timothy, I thank God as I remember you in my prayers. I am reminded of your sincere faith. Because of you, I am not afraid of the gospel for our Savior Jesus Christ abolished death and brought life and immortality (1 Timothy 1). Praise be to God. Amen!
