I have forwarded your wishes to all of my five siblings in three countries (Canada, Kenya, UK). Mom (who died in 2006 at 98) wrote about us in different books and we are glad to all still be alive. We are grateful for the continuing interest in her books, especially among homeschoolers.

I DO however, recall learning one verse's Swedish lyrics to -Children Of The Heavenly Father- in the Opheim, Illinois Lutheran Church when age three in 1958! The word Opheim means "Up home" in Swedish or possibly infers "Up in heaven". Here goes- Tryg er rae kon ingen vara Ahn gootz lila bona skara (I made up the translation soundings) Stergen napa hemla fastet --------------- kangen astet I have been married to my husband for 16 years and we reside in Lake Mary, Florida. My life has been a long stream of continual miracles-I have been ill since I was about ten years old with diabetes and now cardiovascular disease-however, just to look at me people say I am around 40 years old. I am actually 55 and recognize Jesus Christ the Great Physician as the sole reason that I appear as I do. My only child Jesse-still resides in Illinois and is a very spiritual man-he is just amazing. Both he and I are animal lovers. I have 3 cats-Macy, Houston and Kydi. Jesse has 1 cat named Gertrude or Gertie. All four are like four little angels with four different messenger purposes from God. Thank-you, master Rabbi, for designing animals for our enjoyment. I cannot wait to have a home full of animals in your new heavens and new earth that await us-in which there will no longer be sickness or death and the former things will have passed away. Thank-you by the way, for this website-I am currently gathering song lyrics to sing and play on my guitar so to have a repertoire of music to sing about God to others.

I'm still reading (and enjoying!) A Tale of Two Cities. Unfortunately, it and Great Expectations (and A Christmas Carol, I think) are the only Dickens I have under my belt so far. I'm afraid I haven't a clue about the qutoes, but I'll be really embarrassed if any of them are from A Tale of Two Cities (especially if I've already read taht part!). Thanks for the mention, Sherry!

Favorite villain -- I think either Mr. Murdstone or Steerforth. Favorite hero would be David Copperfield or Sydney Carton. Favorite "supporting character" -- Ham in David Copperfield. I've read David Copperfield, Oliver Twist, A Tale of Two Cities, A Christmas Carol, and Great Expectations. Still need to read the others. GE was probably my least favorite. I have no idea on the quotes except #4 sounds like perhaps the Pickwick Papers. Your two favorites are mine as well, in that order, and I agree on the favorite tragic and comic scenes.
