We all gathered to say a last goodbye to Alie (aka Marianna) today.

Roddy, Samatha, and "little" Roddy's visit to the little children's home coincided with our monthly staff meeting, so we all got to recall some special memory or blessing for Alie as she left.

Roddy is a Filipino, but has lived his whole life in the US.

They adopted "little" Roddy from here in the Philippines about three years ago now, so Alie will have an even further connection with her country of origin.
