Every Sunday morning Mr.
Every Sunday morning Mr. Anderson would pick my sister Linda and me up and
take us to Sunday School. He did this faithfully as a service to the Lord.
One of the crowns he will surely receive from the Father is one of FAITHFULNESS. Sunday afternoon he entered into the presence of Jesus whom he loved dearly. I'll miss seeing him at the Westwood breakfasts.
Good bye, Mr. Anderson. Be seeing you soon.
Love, Judi Herman!
