Gladys,
My sympathies to you for the loss of your sister. With delight I remember growing up at Immanuel and knowing the twins, May and June, the much older than I, beautiful blond sisters. How fortunate you are to have had her all these years. I lost Merilyn when I was only 19. You are all fondly remembered.
