Some updates are more than updates—they’re little treasures. ❤️

At 97 years old, 70 years of marriage, and 5 decades on the mission field, Corinne Palmer wanted to write a “little song of thanks” to the people who have cared for her through the last few years. After a fall and broken hip, months of rehab, moving from place to place, and increasing confusion from dementia, Corinne has seen God’s faithfulness through the love and care of family and friends.
