[Oe List ...] Death of Dorothy Appelgate

[Ann Avery]

Thank you Margaret for this look at Dorothy, inspiring me quite a lot like
your wholehearted approach to life does.
I've  been thinking lately that your expression "the core belief that God
is good--all the time" is about all we need to say about good news.
Love,
Ann
