Sister Ruth Ellen Doane
...these trips, Ellen drove them out West to look for American Indiana artifacts. She talked about that trip with the ‘Germans’ for a long time and I’m not sure she ever recovered from it. In our family, Ellen was considered the ‘Go-To’ person for prayers. At our son Brian’s wedding, she prayed for them to have children. We knew then we would have more grandchildren.

Welcoming the Spring Equinox
...plans and so many other plans in 2020. One of the resources I use for daily prayer is the Celtic devotional by Caitlin Mathews. It is an older book no longer in print.

I was told that Shawn Marie read the scriptures every day during her morning prayers. So no wonder – after 61 years, she was able to choose these beautiful passages as her last words of love to you, to her family, friends and colleagues: “… You have a permanent place in my heart.
