A dear friend of our family recently passed. This is not the mourning kind of passing, but a rejoicing of a seasoned saint going home. For us, it all started one Sunday after church, Drew was a baby and Imogene asked to hold him. She held him for a short time. This short interaction made us fast friends. She has always lived with her sister Lavada, and they both loved Drew. Subsquently, they fell in love with Truitt as well and likewise, our appreciation for them also grew. Even up through our most recent time in the states, they loved catching up with Drew and even holding Danae. These were faithful ladies. They are a part of a small cadre of elderly ladies in our home church who are exceptional women of faith. These ladies live out an active faith in so many ways. They were always supportive and prayerful. May God grant Lavada peace in the passing of her sister. We thank the Lord for the Imogene's testimony of faith in our lives.
