Jan, I was saddened to learn of Andy’s passing. I remember well first meeting Andy at Stockton those many years ago and when you two were married. Our paths only crossed a couple of times after he became a pastor. He led a former neighbor of mine to the Lord, that I thought was a miracle. Praying for you and your family as you travel these difficult days without Andy.

Jan,
Our hearts rest with you and all your family as you face such a sudden loss. The loss is certainly one for the community as well and for our small sommunity of Shanto Court.
Fondly,
