That's how I'll show my love for you.Jesus walked away from none. He gave his love to ev'ryone. So I will! I will!"The Sunstone Symposium held a tribute to commemorate the 40th anniversary of her book, "Goodbye, I Love You," as well as the 20th anniversary of her play titled "Facing East" early Friday.
