Memories of Ezra Layman

Today I will be attending Ezra Layman's memorial service.


It was a real blessing and honor to know Ezra Layman since he was very instrumental in leading my grandparents, Bob and Bertha Poffenbarger, to a personal relationship with the Lord. Ezra, along with his lovely wife Margaret, mentored my grandparents and helped them grow in Christ as they fellowshipped and served over the years together at the Tabernacle. My dad was personally blessed to have Ezra on his left arm as he was baptized on May 11, 1960 at Siesta Beach. At that moment my dad was filled with a spiritual gift that has stayed with him since. Because of Ezra’s obedience, servanthood and love for the Savior, Ezra has played an integral part in sharing the Gospel with three subsequent generations of our family.


Lots of love,

The Poffenbarger Family
