    Dear David, Beth and all of Oneita's family Ron and I are deeply saddened to learn about the passing of your precious Mom but, we know heaven is rejoicing to have received a True and Beautiful Angel. David and Beth, don't know if you all remember but, your Dad performed our marriage ceremony in 1962 and of course your Mom was very much a part of that exciting occasion. We will always cherish the memory of both your parents and know that we are better people because of their wonderful influence in our lives. Our deepest Sympathy to everyone. Love, Ron and Betty McCallister

    We will always treasure the time we spent with the Kilpatricks at Frontier Missions over many years. Earl kept Jim and Bill busy working on the buildings while Oneita directed Freida and I as we worked in the kitchen. We girls spent special time together all sitting on the couch talking together about old times and people we knew. She is one of the special people that God allowed us to be privileged to meet. We love you, Oneita.

    Precious memories of all the weeks we spent at the Mission with your special mom and dad. We went to work-and we worked hard-but we had so much fun. The Bible studies after supper we’re always refreshing. And I (Freida) always enjoyed giving your dad a hard time-even in high school. Bill and I so much admire the work they always did. Your mom was such an inspiration to our lives. We will miss them so. Much love to you all. We are sorry we will not be at the services. Please know we are praying.
