You are right, Calvin was unmovable on matters of biblical truth but very encouraging and patient in his pastoral care. It's an admirable balance that's often hard to find.

Your tribute to your Mother is so in...Dear Allison,<br />Your tribute to your Mother is so incredibly lovely. You truly captured her personality, her spirit and her heart. Your Mother and I were "sistahs" in Kappa Delta. In fact, I stayed with her during our reunion and will always treasure such fond memories of our weekend together. Even though we had not seen each other in years & years, it was like we picked up our friendship exactly where we left off years ago. She was just that kind of person.<br /><br />I have visited your blog at least half a dozen times this week. When I got the link, my intention was to add some comment offering you some comfort. Instead, YOU are the one who has given me comfort by sharing your beautiful tribute to your Mother. <br />My best wishes always,<br />Carol Blevins Aldy <br /><br />PS And yes. Allison, I know your story well, even though you don't know me at all. I'll never forget when Dixie shared the story of your birth, she quipped..."Should've sent it in to Red Book..Would've made $500...A Red Book story for sure." Your Mother was so proud of you & your handsome young sons.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06471082192132018742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319968.post-24392769011379382732012-10-10T18:49:58.245-04:002012-10-10T18:49:58.245-04:00Allison,

As you know, she was in Auburn with about 350 of her Kappa Delta sisters, to celebrate our chapter's 90th reunion. From lunch and dinner on Friday, through the brunch, decades parties, and museum party on Saturday, to breakfast at the restaurant at the conference center Sunday morning, she oozed personality and charm. It was as if all of those years had melted away and we were sorority sisters once more just having "a good old time."<br /><br />I was so happy that she and your dad were moving to Auburn share I could see her more often. I told her about our "vintage KD lunch <br />group" that gets together monthly and was looking forward to her being a part of that and also to seeing Bertha, who was my pledge sister, <br />more often too. We had also talked about your dad's hip replacement surgery since I had been through that 11 years ago too. <br /><br />Your tribute to her is so perfectly expressed. She would be so proud of what you have said. Please know that all of her Kappa Delta sisters are grieving with you too and we are very happy that we were privileged to spend such a wonderful week-end with her.<br /><br />With love to all of you,<br />Betty deGraffenried Burgess<br /><br />group goodwaterbettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07112939070398240878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319968.post-64469428672591340372012-10-10T17:34:59.460-04:002012-10-10T17:34:59.460-04:00Allison,

Her legacy lives through you, and I love that her magnetic, infectious personality is living through your precious boys. I pray for the Lord's provision of comfort to you - that He wraps his arms around you like a mother as you navigate this new chapter.

I know the whole situation still seems surreal, so I know it must have been so hard to sit down and translate your feelings into words. I just wanted to let you know that you spoke beautifully and from the heart. You really did your mother's memory a great honor by allowing the rest of us to catch a glimpse into her extraordinary life. She truly was a firecracker and the world is worse off now that she's gone home. <br />Take care and be strong. <br />I love you sis :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13683760691345823031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319968.post-11676987339771062062012-10-05T08:24:04.476-04:002012-10-05T08:24:04.476-04:00Allison,

There is so much in this life that doesn't make sense, especially when life is lost suddenly, without explanation.

I pray God's deep comfort and the peace that passes understanding on you and your family during these dark days.<br />Much love,<br />Becky HollowayHolloway Clanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693431490128830297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319968.post-63066401203432113652012-09-25T15:40:51.700-04:002012-09-25T15:40:51.700-04:00Looked like you guys had lots of fun!
