  1. Larry-
    We are sorry that you have lost your Mother. We loved her AND SHE WAS A special Lady. We will never forget how excited she got when we finally were able to come to her house and have supper with her and your family. She was always in good spirits when we visited her at the Brian Center.We have missed her for sometime in our church but she was not forgotten. God bless you and your family during this time and we will pray for you–Ken & Wanda
