My sympathies to the Kalkwarf family. I remember that cute little Danny Kalkwarf at Immanuel Lutheran School. Such a twinkle in his eye! I pray all is well with your family, Sara.
I retired 7 years ago, but still sub. I saw Robin (Shepard) this morning. She's been on 2 mission trips the past 3 years. God be with you always. Joy in Jesus!
