Memorial Gift

I'll rewrite the letter Scott and I got. Sorry it took me so long to get it up here.

February 9, 2005
Dear Mr and Mrs Rushton and family,
Last month a gift of loving honor and remembrance was given to Healing Hands International by Mr and Mrs Donald B Nelson, 201 Cheviot Court, Hendersonville, TN 37075. This gift was given in loving memory of Mrs Bertha Baker and will give others a chance to experience God's healing power both physically and spiritually.
Sincerely,
Gerald Hurst
Executive Director, HHI

Just a week or so after Mother told me she had done this, there was a write up in the Dickson paper. HHI had sent several thousand pounds of medical supplies and eight doctors and nurses from Dickson to the tsunami area for a two week mission. Isn't that an odd coincidence that out of all the places in TN, they would pick Dickson? Especially after we all were talking about Mom holding tsunami babies in Heaven. Here's an article from the Dickson Herald. (Article about their return-won't be available for more than another couple of weeks at most.)
The Cumberland Presbyterian church took over from HHI after that group got home and sent another group of eight for two more weeks. Then, just about Valentine's day, one of the college students from our church was going on a trip to South America, once again through HHI, so we gave her a boost in Mom's name.
Some of you from Searcy may remember Dr Henry Farrar. He is on the board of directors. If you are interested in learning more about HHI http://www.hhi-aid.org/ or write to: Healing Hands International, 455 McNally Drive, Nashville, TN 37211 or call: 615.832.2000
