    Hi Jen,
    I am a classmate of your mom’s from nurses’ training at Miami Valley Hospital. I’m going to see her tomorrow at Dorothy Love when we have lunch with your grandparents while she is visiting Ohio. I live in Celina about 20 minutes fom Sidney. You’ve been to our house but it was when you were little. We live on Grand Lake St Marys. I think Chris was here too, but I would have to find the pictures to be sure. I enjoy seeing your blog and your little ones. My husband is Flipino, and we have a granddaughter named Sophia too. I have an email I’d like to send you so email me when you find time. XOX Jackie

    Dear One, Mary Brewer sent your blog to my husband and I and we enjoyed it so…much. Mary and Norm Brewer are there in Tirana too, I’m sure you know that. My husband and I are retired from the ministry after 41 years. We now travel and do some meetings. David is preaching a missionary conf. this week, Sun–Wed. We LOVE missionaries. Happy serving Him. Joan Earnhart.
