It was so good to see Millard and JoAnn Matthews, Betty Thompson and Chris Albright in church Sunday. They have all been on our prayer lists these past weeks as they were having health problems. They seem to be doing very well.
Jan Wilson of Rogers and her sister Linda Jones from Fresno, Calif., visited me Sunday afternoon. Linda is updating her family history record. They had visited the Summers cemetery where their Trammell grandparents are buried. We walked over the Beaty cemetery where their grandparents Irvin and Minnie Rich and their mother Irene Rich Wilson are. They took lots of pictures, some to show their aunt Irvalene Rich Khone, who is now in an assisted living facility in Rogers.
They spent some time and enjoyed looking through my book of Lincoln Graduates, as their mother, aunt and cousin graduated from Lincoln, and they recognized others whom they had heard of.
From here, they were going to take photos of the Sugar Hill Church where they remembered visiting with their grandparents when they were little. Linda still has a white Bible that was given to her by the church.
This was an afternoon of sharing memories, and making more to cherish. They also gave a very generous donation for the cemetery.
