A very special lady has passed away this week

I think one of the hardest things being in Africa is, when something happens in the States and I can not be their to comfort or help or give a hug. Today, I have just learned of the death of a very special friend in Oregon. I have known this lady for many many years and she is like a grandmother to me. She is the one person I would always seak out when I went to church to make sure she got a hug, and see how she was doing. She has been such a help and encouragement to me and I will miss her dearly. Mrs Spady was a wonderful woman and she will be missed.
