Linda, Cyndi,& Debbie,
I would like you to know your mom & dad were great Sunday School teachers. Sometimes I was pretty bratty and not interested in serving God at that time. It wasn't until I accepted the Lord while in the Air Force, that I came to appreciate their dedication to the Lord. I am sad for your loss and will be praying for you. Love, Flip Stine
