Marsena, Just wanted to let you know I am thinking about you and praying for you concerning the loss of your mother. I remember when your parents celebrated their fortieth wedding anniversary when they were pastoring in Wabash. I appreciated the sweet spirit your mother possessed. The slide presentation on the funeral home’s website is a fitting tribute to your mother. Sincerely, Janet (Somerlot) Taylor
