Elder Benjamin Orr thank you for being a light in our Newtown Community. Thank you for taking us, Paula, Ella and I, on your family outings. I remembered the kindness shown to us and the joy we shared over great food and fellowship. Your family offered us hope and love; thank you. Rest now from your labor.
