So sorry to hear of the death of Mrs. Logan. She was always a gracious lady who would do anything she could for her church. She loved Elm Street and at my last visit with her she talked of the day she would be able to return. May God's grace and love sustain each of the family members and give you strength to face each day as you grieve the passing. Rev. Harvey Skinner
