許可領牧師娘 2009年請安函

Dear Rev. Lim,
Peace and blessings in the New Year!
我再次感謝你們的禮物和你們不間斷的體貼。我也要告訴你,我的丈夫, Rev. J. Carlisle Phillips,經過 10多年的痛苦,在今年過世了。前不久,他告訴我,他最好、最幸福的日子是3年('47 - '51)在福建,以及25年('57 - '82)在台灣。

現在我仍然不時接到來自台灣的朋友的電話。

 

I want to express my appreciation once again for your gift and for your continued thoughtfulness. I also need to inform you that my husband, the Rev. J. Carlisle Phillips, died this year, after 10 long years of suffering. Not long before he died he told me that his best and happiest years were the 3years (’47-’51) in Fukien and 25 years (’57-’82) in Taiwan. Friends from Taiwan still call me from time to time. Gratefully,

Ruth B. Phillips
