We'll Miss You, Della Sue

Della Sue Ofeldt in Albuquerque, NM, 1992We received word that Della Sue Ofeldt of Fairfield, California, one of our family's dearest friends, passed away today. Della went to nursing school with my mother and became her closest friend. Della was also a very faithful member of Friendship Baptist Church in Ponca City, Oklahoma - a small congregation which I pioneered in 1989. I think it is safe to say that without Della and others like her, that little church might have never made it off the ground and many lives would not have been touched the way they were. The Kingdom of God on earth was blessed because of Della Sue's faithfulness, and now the Kingdom of God in heaven is blessed by her presence there.

Awww...that's sweet and sad at the same time.

We still sing the Potty song to our dogs sometimes:
"Are ya havin' a go, are ya havin' a go, are ya havin' a go... potty, potty?"
