"It seems like only yesterday that Mickey, the girls and I moved to Berryville.  Mickey had been in the military from the time we got out of college, and we were accustomed to moving every 2-3 years.  At first, the move to Berryville was just another stop on our journey through life.  But then, you, the people of the Methodist church, reached out and welcomed us into your homes and into your hearts.  It wasn't long before we started to enjoy small-town living and to think of Berryville as home.  In the 14-plus years since we came here, our daughters have been nurtured by you and have learned many important lessons from you.  We have been and continue to be blessed by your gift of love and friendship."
