I don't even know where to start with the memories, from singing together and playing football against each other, offering Mrs. Tuttle popcorn when we weren't allowed to have electrical applicants in the dorm rooms at Ohio Valley College.to rooming together at WVU. TIme at the Christian student center in Morgantown. The privilege of being her maid of honor in the wedding. Dave Houser and I getting lost in Columbus and being late for the rehearsal. Visiting and playing canasta at the Stephens (Randy's parents) several times. I cherish the memories of her laughter. And so many other things. Blessings to the entire family. I'm sure your hearts are hurting and that you will miss her. I also know she left a legacy of faith with you. Love, peace, and comfort to all of you, especially her loving husband, Randy.
