I will miss Mr. Durden and will continue to think of him daily as I look toward the house. When Mr. & Mrs. Durden first moved to the house on Collins in Centerville, my father (we live across the street diagonally from their house) visited them, witnessed to him and invited them to our church. While they later decided to attend church elsewhere, a testimony of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord was shared and there's comfort to be found in knowing that eternal truth. I'm sorry I missed seeing and speaking to the family. We've been at the HMC & at Wr Rehab with my mother since mid-March to the present. Recently I felt a sense of 'loss' when looking toward the house and now I know why. I enjoyed talking with Mr. Durden. We are praying for all of you and will miss our good neighbor. So glad to have known them here and look forward to the day we'll all be 'neighbors' again! -Marilyn and Ellen Dean
