YoungWillz 21,711 Posted January 3 Also, just to note, just watched Brenton Wood's appearance on Top of the Pops. Sandwiched between Jimmy Savile and Rolf Harris. Yikes! Edit: I see The Osmonds not yet updated, so a wee reminder if you are still updating the entries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rest of the text: "...and Barbara—and a devoted grandmother to her seven grandchildren. She loved to write Bible songs and teach them to her grandchildren when they were small. In subsequent years Anita continued to write and sing about God's love whenever and wherever she could. (Her story can be found in more depth at the Anita Bryant Ministries International website.) Anita was preceded in death by her husband, Charlie; her parents, Lenora and Warren; her stepfather, George; her sister, Sandra; and her half brother, Sonny. She left behind her four children, two stepdaughters, and seven grandchildren and their spouses, who will cherish her legacy of faith and love. Anita also left behind a beloved extended family—as well as her church family, friends, and neighbors—who gave of themselves to her in many ways. May Anita's memory and her faith in eternal life through Christ comfort all who embraced her." 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
