HI Liz Lee and Rick I am so sorry to hear about your Moms passing. She was a talented creative and loving person who will be missed by many. One of my many memories of Nan happened when she was lead in the song service at East Hopewell. It was a hot summer day before we had air conditioning. All the windows were open so the flies were able to come in freely. One of them flew into her mouth. She handled that so well that no one knew about that until after the service when she told us that she held it under her tongue until the song was over. Many other happy memories of her. Our prayers are with you
