In Memory

Roses at Miss Sandra's house:I got word today that one of our friends in Mississippi, Miss Sandra, passed away a couple of weeks ago. We met her on our 2nd trip to Pearlington in December of 2006 and she quickly captured our hearts. Anyone who worked at her property and on her house came away hoping and praying that she would be able to get back into the home that she and her dad built together. After many setbacks, it finally looked like that might actually happen for her as our team left last December. Sadly she never did.


I received this note after we got home in January:


Brittany--

Thank you so much, and please thank everyone else for me. For so many things, the flowers, the calendar, the labor and most of all for caring.

If it were not for the good hearts of wonderful people like the members of your church (and the grace of God) I wouldn't have made it this far.

This card can't being to express my appreciation.

Your Sister in Jesus Christ,
Sandra

Miss Sandra, we will miss you. We praise God for the opportunity to meet you, to work with you, to learn from you and the privilege of calling you our friend.
