I will never forget when I was serving in the kitchen at Greenwood Hills and met the "holy rollers" who rolled silverware for the camps and conferences there. (Mrs. Chambers and the Wilsons would help the kitchen staff by rolling napkins around silverware.) Mrs. Chambers has been a fun person to get to know. She would always give me a big hug and express a sweetness as she encouraged me in all that I did. I look forward to getting to know her better when I meet up with her in Heaven.
