Thank You from Rev. John Vickers |

Although it has been over 25 years since Barbara and I lived and worked with you in Baton Rouge, I was amazed, humbled and strengthened by the many cards, notes, and gifts to Barbara’s memorial fund that were received following her passing in October. The 10 years we spent in Baton Rouge were among the happiest years of our lives. And to be remembered by so many after having been gone so long was is an extremely rare and comforting experience.
Barbara Ann’s Memorial Service was held last Saturday, December 5, and was livestreamed. There is a recording of the service available by clicking here for those who might be interested.
So thank you again for your remembrance and concern for us. It was a great comfort in a time of need.
