Dear Brethren:

After the Thanksgiving conference I went to visit my brother Ralph who was in the final stages of lung cancer. His wife Ruby was not physically able to take care of him and since they never had any children, I was the logical one to take care of him. The Hospice care was just great, but he needed someone to be with him twenty-four hours a day. Although Ralph had not attended church for a long time, he assured me he was saved and was looking forward to going home to be with the Lord. On December 20, 2001, he did go home to be with the Lord, and I preached his funeral on December 24.

After the Funeral we stopped by my sister Anna Marie's house just long enough to pick up our clothes, and then returned home to Richmond. I am still very, very tired, but I am ready to get back to my job as Field Representative of Baptist Faith Missions. If I can be of any service to you or your church, please contact me.

In His Service,

Bobby D. Creiglow
