My prayers and sympathy to the family
of Mr. Z. He was a long time friend and Sunday School attendee, Z didnt say a lot in Sunday School but when he
brought his little pocket notebook, everyone in class knew he had a question. His questions were always well thought
out and thought provoking and sometimes required much thought and discussion by the class to try to resolve. Dick was
a friend to everyone at Faith Chapel and will be sorely missed, especially by me. Dick loved his wife and girls,
when someone would ask about them he would light up like a light bulb.
