After 13-1/2 years and 127,700 miles, our 1994 Plymouth minivan, aka Vanna, has moved on to a new life as a servant of Isaiah 58 ministries, the anti-poverty and hunger program sponsored by a group of South St. Louis churches, including our own. Here she is at the curb outside the building this afternoon, after we turned over the title and keys to Isaiah 58's staff.We were delighted that we could find a useful life for Vanna after we purchased our newer van, Gracie, this past summer. We have quite a history with this car, starting in that chaotic time in spring of 1994 when my mother started having health problems. Over the years, Vanna took loads of women to the Christian Women's Fellowship Quadrennial Assemblies in Purdue, ventured on vacations to Colorado, Minnesota and Canada, made innumerable trips between St. Louis and Tulsa or St. Louis and Colby quickly and safely, transported children and youth to summer camp, and on and on. Vanna was dependable and we will always remember our days of driving her fondly. Do a good job for Isaiah 58, Vanna.
