[Oe List ...] FW: Completed Life of Marileen Elizabeth Johnson

[Gail West]

Remembering the great years (early '80's) when they were at the
Marshalltown Methodist Church where Don was pastor and we were in
Lorimor/Kansas City.  A spirit-filled time in Iowa as we prepared for the
IERD and .......  It was very special to partner with Marileen.
