One Condolence for H. Marie Wortz

  • Dear Marie (in Heaven, now)…I’ve been thinking about you and wanted to write some thoughts. First of all, I want to thank you, so very much, for your undeserved love and kindness, when things were rocky in my life and then beyond that. You were so gracious and generous, in every way. You were my best friend, no matter what others may – in their ignorance – have thought of me. Eventually, John and I moved away and then changed churches, so we drifted apart. But, you’re STILL in my heart and I pray for Karen and her family. I love you and look forward to our next “meeting.” Danna
