Dear Don & Pam,
Sorry to read in the paper of your Mom’s passing. I know you will miss her. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. In times like these God’s grace is all-sufficient.
Hope things are well for you folks. Caroline & I were in Galesburg for a very brief visit in the month of March. We actually were only in the city of Montgomery for about 4 hours…it had been over 20 years since I was there. We visited with Bob & Lois also with Bob & Arlene Walters. We got to see Harmony also…then had to leave. We wish we could have seen more folks. Maybe some day we will be able to visit again.
Again, we are sorry for your loss and our prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Steve & Caroline Nulph
