What a beautiful sunny day we had last Monday morning. The birds are singing and perhaps saying “thank you” in their own language to the kind lady who had just filled all the bird feeders with fresh sunflower seed.In many places in the world people are happy and enjoying life, but in our beautiful Dry Creek Valley many of its residents are both sad and happy.Bro. Donald Owens, pastor at Dry Creek Baptist, called early morning on Jan. 7 to relate the expected news that one of our members, beloved Audrey Vandagriff Frazier, had departed from her earthly home and gone to her eternal heavenly home.We in the valley are sad because we won’t see, talk with or have her with us anymore.
