Mel,
My condolences to you on the passing of your bride into glory. She is now with the other saints in Christ worshiping Him, and that we can be thankful for. I so appreciate her record keeping and attendance in the Hope class at Castle Hills 1st Baptist. It was a joy having both of you in class and for your participation. Also, thank you for your faithful service to IBLP for so many years. Although I didn't know you then, that ministry has been a blessing to me and my family. Thank you for your service to Christ and your faithfulness to your precious bride. May the Lord grant you an extra measure of grace to comfort, sustain and strengthen you for the days ahead.
Love in Christ, John Lavin (former Hope class teacher)

We would like to express our deepest sympathy to the Thurman family. Our thoughts and prayers for comfort are with you during this difficult time. We only met Jean a few times over the years, but we felt as if we knew her through our discussions with Ann and Ted. She was a wonderful, strong and caring woman and we know she will be missed by both family and friends. The San Antonio Spurs will miss her support, as well. We understood her to be one of their biggest fans!!! Peace be with all of you.

From all of the Kruggel's. (Ann's family in Michigan & Illinois)
