Loss of a friend

I have just lost a friend. For years Alida Bosshardt of the Netherlands has sent me cards and letters written in somewhat quaint English (much better than my Dutch, be it said!) and always showed interest in my family. At over ninety years of age Alida was a legend in her lifetime. For years she worked in the red light district of Amsterdam and identified with the prostitutes. But with that identification she maintained her Christian identity. I am grateful for having known one who epitomised Salvationism.
