Our society is kept sane by all the unsung heroes who work diligently but want to remain anonymous. My Iris Jean Brustad was such a person. What she did for foreign students as well as unsponsored Missionaries will never be documented.
As a volunteer representative for American Bible Society, she had worldwide contacts and the eternal fruits will never be known to man. At 85 years old, she left us on Nov. 4th to be with her heavenly Father and continues to enjoy family like she so splendidly produced in raising three daughters to be teachers.
I attempt to express my thoughts in verse:
A classy lady with a winning smile
She would make you go that extra mile
Though tough as nails but sweet as pie
While never wrong and yet never tell a lie.
With her interests so broad and talents unending
