Alma is deeply loved and we rejoice at the incredible reunion she is now celebrating with her beloved son Earle and Willard. It was because of Alma coming to our door MANY years ago to get permission from my parents for me and my 6 siblings to ride the Sunday School bus to Maple Hill Church that our entire family began a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. By God's amazing intervention and grace, whole generations of Christian families were established and we have the wonderful hope of all being reunited again some day. Alma also taught me Sunday School and my husband and I have been missionaries in Christian Camping for nearly 35 yrs--carrying on the faith and impacting lives as her and Willard did so faithfully through the years. The song "Thank You for Giving to the Lord" is one that comes to mind every time I think of Alma and Willard. We loved visiting Alma when we would be in Keswick and later in Newmarket. She made beautiful quilted potholders for the camp ministry and we think of her every time we use them. Love and blessings!
I praise God for the life of Mrs. Cryderman. She and her dear husband were such tremendous examples and encouragements to me and so many others in our life of faith in Jesus. How wonderful to imagine what is taking place right now for her - the joyous life-full Alma dancing with delight as she finally sees the Lord she has loved so long. Can't wait to join you Mrs. Cryderman. Love Sarah (Whitmore) Dredge
