To Vonnie's family:
I'm so very sorry to have just become aware of her passing. I was her pastor for a short while at Emmanuel and have only the fondest memories of her. She was smart, funny, no-nonsense, and a wonderful wife and mother. Your dad's funeral was the last I did before leaving the church there. I have, as a treasure, a wooden bowl that Ross made. It was a true privilege to know them both and a tear will fall each time I pass the beautiful home they made together. May God give you peace. She loved you dearly.
