THE GOOD KEPT FLOWING

THE MID-1980S weren't easy for me. But through it all I began to grasp the fact that, as this issue of the Sentinel brings out, good does not end.

My husband and I had purchased an old home in Texas; we were in the middle of renovations when he suddenly and unexpectedly passed on. I was left with very little income and our two preschool-aged children to care for.

The house would not have sold easily under those conditions. So there seemed to be no choice but for me to learn how to do some of the renovations myself. Since our neighbors across the street were also renovating a house, they taught me how to do a lot of the work and helped me at other times, too. And though our relatives lived far from us, their love and support, and the caring of my church group and other friends, meant a lot.
