My mother & both grandmothers were Eastern Star members. My heart goes out to all of you. It is difficult to lose such a grand soul. Prayers for you all. Her photo here is beautiful.
Van was one of the most admirable ladies I have ever known. She did it: got an education later in life, and gave her time to the Salvation Army. She had a most pleasant smile and loving personality. Truly she was loved and will be missed. I will be unable to attend the service because I am now living in Rogers, Ar. May all of you, her family, rejoice that she lived such an exemplary life and be inspired to follow her example. Darlene Lim
