Thursday Memorial Service


It is still hard for me to really realize that Dad is no longer with us on earth. One thing that I do know is that through this time of pain and sorrow we have also felt great joy and love.

During the Thursday night memorial service and cremation we felt God's presence as we laughed, sang, reflected, worshipped, hugged, cried, and lifted our hearts to the Lord. As we said "Goodbye" to Dad here on earth, we felt the Doors of Heaven open up to receive a faithful servant. Dad, we love you and miss you already.

Dad

Transition is never easy, especially when it is thrust upon you unexpectedly. For us, it came upon us this May. On May 16, Dad passed away. His death left us all stunned, but still having to keep going.

While we miss the work he put into this ministry, what is most keenly felt is the absence of his presence. Others will do the work, but no one else can be Dad.

Please keep the family and the ministry in your prayers.
