Dear John and Family,

How dear Nancy was to all of us who were privileged to know her. She made me feel like such a Bible scholar each time I taught the Cook Class at Vineville. We will miss her wonderful smile so very much but not nearly as much as you will. We pray that you will find God's comfort in the lonely days ahead.
