The Rev. Debbie Earthowl presided over Connie Martell’s Memorial Service at the Mansion this morning. She said Connie was now in the arms of God, where she wished to be. I gave a talk describing how Connie had launched the Army Of Good and transformed my life and the lives of others.

Several of the residents talked about Connie’s generosity and encouragement of others, Red sat by Rev. Earthowl for most of the service. It was simple, touching, humbling. Thanks for the flowers and cards you sent the residents, and for the Christmas gifts and decorations that have begun arriving.
