We’re here for you and you’re in our prayers. Hester was such a delight. Please let us know if there’s anything we can do. We love you all!
Annetta, we are thinking of you and your family at this difficult time. Your mom and dad were such vibrant Christians and we have many good memories of them and of you when we were at Calvary. We have moved to Linville now but please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you!
I am also a member of Calvary Baptist Church and am always interested in finding out what’s happening there and was very sorry to read about the death of Mrs. Suttle. We’ll miss her.
Annetta,
So many of my happy childhood memories are from time spent in your home. Both your parents were very generous and caring as well as fine Christian examples. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
