Skip & family, you folks were part of the Fostoria Assembly of God when I first started attending. The Nellers were pastors at the time. I remember Jan playing the piano & Skip in the sound booth. Being a ‘new kid on the block’ I din’t know you well, but knew you as an important part of the family of God. ‘Guiding lights’ to a new convert.
My heart and prayers are with you all. I have often thought of you when thinking about the history of our church. Without being aware of it, you and Jan became an important part of my Christian walk. God bless you, and may the ‘peace that passeth all understanding’ be with you and your family.
