I remember my grandmother, Margaret Toliver, often speaking about "Reverend Bland" And as I recall her talking about him, there is a sense of fondness and appreciation that existed. Sending my condolences to the family from myself and acknowledging my grandmother would do the same if she were alive to do so.
