Dear family,
I first got to know Sally and her family when we were both around 9 years old. My dad was pastoring a small church in the Lehigh Valley. Sally's mom and dad were very musical, her dad played trumpet and her mom played the piano...and they all sang. They left the large church of Cherryville and came to our church to help get the church moving in the direction of growth. Sally's family was a breath of fresh air in the tiny congregation. We were at that church for three years.
Fast forward to college years. I had just started teaching Special Education in public school and Paul and Sally were in their last year of college at United Wesleyan. David, Paul, and Sally were the trio...not only in singing but as friends! It was great to reconnect.
Fast forward again...mom and dad took a church in Milton, and years later I was pastor in Milton. Although we were in different districts, our path crossed many times...and especially in the Country Cupboard Restaurant on Sundays. As a church we wanted to keep in touch with Paul and Sally during her cancer battle. We prayed regularly and tried to be a support. Although we were somewhat distanced, our support never stopped. Sally always had a smile and always had a strong faith that trusted God for each day. Our prayers are especially with Paul in the loss of Dave and now Sally. Praying God will give peace and strength for each new day. Praying for all the family as they walk through these days.
In Christian love,
Arlie Davis
