Dear Beth Ann, Sue Carol, and James,
Larry and I would like to express our sincere sympathy to you all in the loss of your mother. We had great respect for her godly character and interest in spiritual things. We loved her wonderful sense of humor, too. When the Shutt family began visiting the little assembly in Alpena, we were impressed by her consistent support for whatever would honor God. She truly "laid up treasure in heaven" by her life of meekness and dignity. We were privileged to know her.
