    We have enjoyed many years of friendship with Sallie and Dick, especially in Myers Park UMC and the Wesley Class. It was a real joy to be able to go on a trip to Nova Scotia and have Sallie and her sister, Pat along. It was great to have Sallie and Dick living at Aldersgate, where we also reside. May God's greatest comfort be with all the family during these days. ><}}}*>
