    What a great life and testament? Despite her handicap, she knew that life was a gift and God's grace to her. Her labor for the Lord was not to build up personal merit but to give thanks. I will reference her in a sermon on 9/25/2022 when the theme is "Evangelical hymns of the Anglical Communion." Thank you, Charlotte. Praying for the repose of your eternal life. Amen.
