Dear Patti, I am so sorry to hear this. I am praying for you and all of your family. Your mother was a lady of grace and faith. I will never forget hand delivering a copy of our magazine The Update to her because the post office had torn one of the pages. I was surprised to learn that she and your dad read every issue front to back! So sweet. Blessings, Terese
