I knew they were headed up your way but what I didn’t know was
that your mother-in-law and Chantel’s mother have known each
other for years. What a suprise to discover that!
And what fun to visit with them, I’m sure.
Cute picture of you and her.
I am looking forward to the day when I will get to meet Chantel. It almost happened last year….almost but not quite.

For someone "not always good with words" I think she did a good job. Thanks! I like the part about every Christian needing a Paul, Timothy, or Barnabas. It really made me think about what kind of friend I am to others. I think I need to make some changes. Thanks, "Me." I hope you find a Barnabas friend soon.<br/>"God's girl" I agree so much with “Me” about everything she said. For someone “not always good with words” I think she did a good job. Thanks!

Though most of us won't meet you this side of heaven, we are so thankful for what you allowed the Lord to do through you to bless and encourage SO many ladies. Thanks for all the time and work you've put into YLCF over the years - I have been truly blessed! And Gretchen, we are thankful for YOU!
