Sister Kiriakov, I not sure I can actually express my gratitude sufficiently about this wonderful lady. When I would see her and walk to where she was sitting she would always greet me with a big infectious smile and put out her hand to shake. I would kiss her hand and she would pull it up to the side of her face and kiss my hand. Next she would always say things like how thankful she was to be there and to be a member of the church. The power of her words, so would say, had steel in them and I would agree. She was an great example of prospective regarding appreciation for her membership in the church and she was always conscious of it, acknowledging it continually. I happen to have had an assignment at the Osmond Care Center during this time and I will also never forget their family story about how they left Bulgaria with the powerful hand of the Lord.
I can only fall short of what can be said about this wonderful lady regardless of what I say.
Julia, thank you so much for sharing your mother and your own testimony.
Sincerely,
Ed Payne
