I am one of Aunt Mary's 'girls' who lived with her in the 70s after she retired from teaching. To her we were not just 'boarders' but girls to be discipled and loved. Her patience with my immaturity, her heart for young people, her honest and wise advice, and her love for God's Word had a powerful impact on my life. I am so grateful to God for the opportunity to live with her and be part of her life. Phyllis (Ronald) Trick - Posted by: Phyllis Trick (Friend) on: Feb 18, 2010
