Friends of Malinda and her late husband, Dan, share many stories of Malinda’s love of cooking for anyone who dropped by and Dan’s joy in helping others. The couple had a deep faith in God that permeated everything they did in service to others. Dan has been waiting at the gates to give a giant, warm hug to welcome his “Bear”.
