  1. And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year:

    “Give me a light, that I may tread safely into the unknown!”

    And he replied:

    “Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God.

    That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.”

  3. Dear Eddie Earl & Sheryl, What a beautiful lady! Wanda was always one of my favorite people and she radiated whenever she spoke. I’m sorry I didn’t keep in touch those years after she left Tucumcari. She was missed by so many friends and church family but I know she was where you could take care of her and love her as she should be loved. What precious memories you have to hold dear and you had her for many years to cherish. Thinking of each of you.
