You are in my prayers! I enjoyed talking with him last weekend when I called to tell him about mom's passing. He was a wonderful man, and I am sure mom and Edna Mae Peebles were waiting at the gate to see him!

My prayers!

I remember a modern day "Barnabas" that was always encouraging a young pastor. What a godly example! Am praying for that special comfort at this time.

Joan, Just thinking of God's promises for you now... the one about "absent" and "present" You know what fills in the blanks. We're going to be praying for you from Africa. Such fond memories of you and Harry and your wonderful support of us. We're drawing near in heart, with Christ's love.

Thoughts and prayers for you as you say good-bye to your father, here on earth. It sounds as though he served his Lord and Saviour faithfully. From: Marge Stoller

Love &: prayers are sent to Joan & family on Harry's home-going. Remembering fondly his years in Cedarville, OH, mostly as he served as Cedarville University's Bookstore manager, and also noting his role as first pastor of Grace Baptist Church.
