Mrs. Koslo & family
Robin and I are very sorry to hear of Mr. Koslo's passing.
Mr. Koslo and I had a great friendship for years, and only my need to be way at Seminary parted this friendship.
I was so glad to have known him, and valued his thoughts and views.
He use to like to talk about the Corporation (that is something we agreed completely on.
We pray God's comfort on you all, as you go through this time of mourning.
God Bless
Paul Wallace
