A candle has been lit

“I was saddened to learn of his passing just days before Dale and Marian's wedding anniversary. I had just purchased an anniversary card and found out later that day from Rita Ransom that he was gone. I always thought God sent him to our church to broaden our horizans concerning missions and have always been thankful for the vision that he had. During this time our youngest son, Brent, had the call to be a missionary for which we've always been grateful.”
