[Editor's Comment: It was my privilege and honor to meet Judy and Don Milner when I was the senior pastor of Richmond First Pentecostal Holiness Church. They were pastoring the Bellwood Pentecostal Holiness Church. Melvine and I found them to be true friends. They were a source of love, acceptance, and encouragement. After we left Richmond we stayed in touch. I had started Hugh's News prior to leaving Richmond and Judy was one of the early subscribers to the newsletter God entrusted to me. Judy loved to read every newsletter to keep connected to the larger Pentecostal Holiness Church. She contributed of her finances above her tithes to help me publish Hugh's News. Of course, I love Don. He stood with me at a crucial time in my life and encouraged me. I found Don to be a true and trusted friend. My heart goes out to him in the sudden death of his dear wife.
Don and Judy are both graduates of Southwestern College. Arlon Beadles was the basketball coach there when they were students. I am sure many of our readers in the west will remember them. Let us pray for Don Milner and his family in their grief and sorrow.]
