From Stephanie Thompson-Anderson

I loved your father so much. I spent so much time @ your house & he taught me so much about the value of really knowing God's word. Your mom led me to Christ & your dad was the 1st one I shared the news with. I am eternally grateful for the influence your entire family has had on me spiritually. You were my 1st best friend when we came to Bellingham, Becky gave me piano lessons, Dan gave me alto sax lessons, and I even got to sit on the church board when we interviewed Tim for the position of pastor (I would have loved to have him here because I knew the family would visit.). One of the things that I remember about your dad & have shared many times is when I said, in a group discussion about some scriptural matter, "I know it's true because Pastor Baker said it is.". He straightened me right out on that & told me that, mo matter what he or anyone else says, I need to believe it only because the scripture saays so. Since then, my Bible is always open whenever I'm in church or any type of scriptural study or lecture. And the “ripple effect” still continues. Love them both so much.
