    I am sorry to hear of the death of Robert Rawley. We have special memory of their visit to Golden Spring many years ago. Mrs Rawley was the one who donated some silver ware to the kitchen at Golden Spring. Thank you for his life and service to the Church and to the kingdom of God all these many years.
    Our prayers are with the entire family during this time of loss.

    Owen, Frances & Sashay
