I will surely miss my dearest friend, and spiritual supporter. When I was at a very low point in my life, she helped to raise me up and gave me love and encouragement. I owe my renewed life to the love and support she gave me at that time. How grateful I am for having known her and shared so much joy and love with her. She was spiritually very strong and so patient and loving to all she met. She helped me to know God, and that is the highest thing you can do in life. I thank God for bringing her into my life.
With much love to all the family,

Mrs. Acree took a group of challenging Sunday School teenagers and turned us around with her patience, joy, support, and deep, spiritual love and understanding of God's goodness in each of His children. Those she's touched will always hold her in their hearts! Cindi Doty Price (Maitland, FL)
