[Faith-talk] When friendship is tough

Wed Apr 18 13:21:34 UTC 2012

I wonder if Illinois has an atlarge chapter where  you can call in your 
cellphone and participate that way.  That way you can participate from home. 
I had a dear friend out there named Crescence Stadeble who unfortunately 
isn't among us now but Tina and I really got to know her well.
