With Deepest Sympathy for Ron and family.
It was with great sadness that I learned of Anna’s passing. It’d been a great privilege and joy to get to know Anna through her friendship to and with Clarence Cook. It’d been a delight to continue to provide Anna with ministry visits over the years after Clarence had passed. I appreciated getting to know several members of the family, and hearing about Anna’s days when life held more than a daily outlook in nursing care. Prayers continue for the family, missing this dearly loved one. Tim Kunzweiler
