Sympathy and prayers go to the family of Mary Jane Eichorn.  Her funeral was here yesterday.  Mary Jane will be missed by her family as well as all of us here at Locust Grove.  She was a woman of faith and a strong prayer warrior.  Included in her survivors are daughters Christine Oswald and Gerri Schwartz and their families, brothers Bill and Erv Wickey and their families, and her brother-in-law Paul Eichorn and family.  You are in our prayers.   

Remember to bring your food donations that will go to Keystone Place.

Congratulations to Paul & Fran Eichorn on the birth of their granddaughter, Vivienne Jane, born to Steve & Jane Eichorn on April 22.  She joins her sister Eliza who will be 2 in July.  They are thanking God for this beautiful, healthy little girl and I think Paul, Fran or Sierra would be happy to show you pictures if you ask them!
