Mrs. Lowenthal traveled to various parts of the world; and through the years walked in, outside and around the perimeter of God's Kingdom. In January, she decided that she wanted to be as sure about the way to heaven as she was about the way to places she enjoyed like the local thrift shop or deli. So in the presence of family and friends she accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior, being then clothed with the imperishable blood of Jesus.
