Around the time of the dedication of the Logsdon School of Theology in 1989, 报纸上的一篇文章这样描述科伦:
静静地站在一间新教室的后门, unobtrusively observing the students she called her ‘children.’ Tears of joy welled up in her eyes as she watched a young theology major practicing his preaching skills before several professors. She didn’t say anything, but her smile and tears spoke volumes. They spoke of the same type of pride a young mother feels when she overhears her daughter reciting Bible verses, 或者给她的娃娃唱“耶稣爱我”. They spoke of the pride of knowing that [the] seeds she and her late husband [had] planted [had begun to produce] fruit. And they spoke of the gratitude she [felt] to God for the financial blessings which enabled the childless couple to have such a profound impact on the lives of literally thousands of HSU students—many yet unborn.”
文章进一步指出, “一旦他们遇到娇小的人, 82-year-old woman with a cherubic face and childlike voice, not even the most mature seniors object to being called ‘children’ by this matriarch of the faith.”
韩女士于1月26日去世, 2002, 享年95岁, having left a legacy of faith that continues to reach into untold future generations of believers.
