My condolences to the Baker family. I met Evangelist Corrie when her daughter, Rana was one of my Flag Corp. members at Linden-McKinley. She was always soft spoken and very supportive of Rana. She had a beautiful smile. Keep all your memories close to your heart, and let God guide you through this very difficult time. God bless you all.
