To the Family of Inez Hollister:
Our sympathies go out to you on the death of your loved one. I am the pastor at First Christian Church in Sullivan. Once a month we go to Courtyard Estates and have a "Coffee and Chat" for our members who live there and anyone else who wants to come. Inez was a regular part of those gatherings. We really appreciated her smile and cheerful attitude. She seem to enjoy our time together and would willingly participate in whatever activity we had planned.
Tammy Brick at Courtyard asked if at our next gathering, which is this Wednesday, we would do a short memorial for Inez since her Courtyard friends are unable to travel to Macomb. So I wanted you to know that on Wednesday morning we will give a tribute to Inez. If there is anything you would like to share with me about her life, please feel free to call at 217.273.9766.
May you find God's peace in the midst of your grief.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Ingram
Sr. Pastor, First Christian Church, Sullivan IL
