Message: I know Nellie is rejoicing with the Lord she has longed to see face to face for so many years. I have many wonderful memories of working at Camp FaHoCha together, discussing good books we'd read, praying together and fellowshiping in God's Word. I am thankful for the way she challanged my children to memorize God's Word. I look forward to seeing her someday in Heaven with her sight, hearing and memory restored. She was truly a "kindred spirit". Theresa Deckert
