Selah people' and friends please keep Ms. Settlemyer,s family and her church family in your thoughts and prayers. Also keep your pastor lifted up as Sallie was such a special inspiration and encouragement in my ministry. She called me her "young preacher" and I called her more than friend we became family. I love this woman and her wonderful spirit. As she shared with me during our last visit "I will see you later!" May she finally get her rest.
In Christ service,
