We are extremely humbled by this generous Legacy Gift by the Van Valkenburg Family in honor of their parents, Raymond and Dorothy. Please read the following excerpt from a heartfelt letter from Sherry, Donna, and Robin. “Our parents were longtime faithful members of First United Methodist Church in Salem. We were raised going to church there every Sunday. Both Dorothy and Raymond had a strong Christian faith and a love for helping others. They served in many capacities at First Methodist over the years. They enjoyed serving the Lord, doing so with their many dear friends there. They also served at RAM which was a ministry they were both very passionate about. They volunteered at RAM for several years in retirement. We were told dad tried to pay the needy with his own money while he was working there! We weren’t surprised. We were surprised though on the day dad brought home the homeless man who showed up at church one Sunday. This stranger went home with us for Sunday lunch. We are certain that dad did more to help him after that day as well. This was the kind of heart our dear parents had.” RAM House would be pleased if you would also consider a legacy gift. Please contact our Executive Director (executivedirector@raminc.org) for more information.
