Sally and family. We were so very sorry to read of your great loss. Since we go back a ways in your lives, we have many memories of our working together to make lives of developmentally delayed persons better. Hope you’re doing well. We live in a retirement facility and doing fine.
Sally, I was so sorry to read of your husband’s death. May God be with you and your family in the days ahead. Marlene Miene
Sally, I read your husband’s obituary in the Kansas City Star this past week and want to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this time. It has been many, many years since we have seen one another – since Saint Paul School of Theology, I believe, and that was over 20 years ago. Those 20+ years have gone very quickly and much has happened to each of us and our classmates. However, I do remember those days as being good days. I see from the obituary that you have retired from active ministry. I expect to retire in 2007 but am enjoying ministry right now. I have been at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in Lenexa for almost 9 years now and have found that to be a really good church for me. I am sorry about the death of your husband, but wanted to let you know that one of your classmates is thinking about you and your family. May God’s grace hold all of you securely at this time.
