Final Reunion Pictures

These friends I had not seen for MANY years - Sue, Naomi and Joy.  I have been in touch with Joy by mail, and we met twice when we lived in Rockford. It has been at least 43 years since I last saw Sue and Naomi.  The time together was all too short.  I didn't even get time to chat about family and grandkids.

This is Priscilla's friend, Debbie Jett. She and her mother, Pat, were at the reunion as well as her aunt and uncle, the Meeders.

Priscilla used to babysit for Sam and Faye Todd's children.

Gail used to babysit Lou and Erika Kendrick's children.

Dawn Plachy and her husband came from Arizona.  She looks like her mom.

This is the group picture in the auditorium of the First Baptist Church of Burbank.   There were several that had already  left.  Tom Lavin looks like he is ready to preach or sing.
It was a great blessing to be able to meet with friends that share the love of the One Who purchased us with His blood.  Before we gathered for the picture, we all joined hands and sang "Blest Be the Tie That Binds".  It was a very precious time. What a heritage to pass on to the next generation!
