“Thank God for the opportunity to raise my children to adulthood and the pleasure and enjoyment of my grandchildren and great-grandchildren. To serve the Cambodian refugees and various church services. The trips I made for Him and the one to Isreal as these brought me closer to Him and much happiness. Also, I would ask my family not to sorrow as this is the best trip I’ve ever taken with God and Dad waiting to welcome me.” – Mary Ann Kennedy.
