January 3, 2004


1:18 PM Just heard from Phyllis Raad that Minnie Fahler died this morning at her daughter’s home in Pennsylvania. Minnie had been part of our church for almost sixty years. Every Sunday I would stop and say hi to Minnie and Shirley Banta and Helen Scharama and Gloria Ahlenius before the start of traditional worship service. Although she had a painful cancer, Minnie never complained. She has gone to heaven and we rejoice. Her memory brings a smile to my face. 1:16 PM We leave for China in 10 days. We’re definitely in the final countdown mode. Marlene went out this morning to buy some things we’re taking with us to give to Josh.

Do you have any thoughts or questions about this post?
