All of my grandsons are doing well. Joe is a banker in Tucson. Jesse is graduating in 1996 and is planning to go on to college. He had a perfect score in mathematics on his SAT test, which is a great accomplishment. He has been accepted to the United States West Point Military Academy and to several excellent colleges.


The important thing is serving Jesus and I hope they read the Bible. I gave each of them one, so they can work out their salvation and we can be together in eternity.


Since my grandsons, Sister Lois' sons, will all be gone as soon as Jesse graduates from high school, Lois decided to sell her home in Angola, Indiana. The house is becoming too large and she wanted to move to a warmer climate for health reasons.


In December she, Chuck, Sid and I went to Florida to help her find a home. Chuck had contacted a lady that owned a fishing camp that he knew when he use to take Aunt Em and Uncle Bill on their fishing vacations. Come to find out, her son had died a year earlier and she had her home and the camp up for sale. She thinks an awful lot of Chuck and wanted him to buy it because she knew he would take good care of it. We decided to all go together and make it a family business. It is an ideal place for those who like to fish and relax and after we have things ship shape, we hope to have a good business. I was sure thankful to be out of the cold north this winter.



I appreciated receiving the videos of our Church services that the Bauer's faithfully sent to me and having a Message Church that I can attend in West Palm Beach.


While I have been gone these last five months, my granddaughter Rebecca and her husband, Brad have been blessed with a little son, Caleb Seth. He is my fifth great grandchild and will be five months old before I will be able to hold him. They have sent pictures of him to me and he is a beautiful little boy. I dreamed of him one night, and I told him I loved him and he said he loved me too. It was a real sweet dream.


I pray that my testimony will be an encouragement to those that read it and believe it. God bless and keep each one that reads this is perfect peace - creating a thirst that only our Jesus can quench.

Chuck has helped me wherever I am.



He helps everyone wherever he is. If he's not helping fix something for someone, he'll be making a garden. He is working with Sid in his research laboratory for six years and when Uncle Bill wanted him to take he and Sister Em to Florida, he was willing to quit his job and take them. Sid has opened his home for me during the winter months and I appreciate being out of the cold north.


If I've ever hurt anyone, please forgive me. God is still working on me. He isn't finished with me yet. I'm not what I want to be, but I'm not what I used to be.


I want my family to know I appreciate everything they have done for me. I love all of you with all my heart and I pray that we'll all be together eternally around the throne of God. God bless each of you and keep you all in perfect peace.


I miss my Home Church and I thank them for their prayers.


Mom, Sister Lou, Aunt Lou, Nana
