One of our dearest friends has now graduated to Heaven! Although many miles have separated us geographically for the past 20+ years; since coming to know her, we have always loved Gaye, her family, and her friends. What a blessing her faith, friendship, and love was to our entire family. In His divine wisdom and providence, our lives were richly blessed by a wonderful loving person, neighbor and friend. Her faith and her life was an unmatched testimony of how Jesus can carry one through anything and everything that can possibly happen on this earth to anyone. What joy she now has! No more pain, sickness, heartache, or suffering for her! We look forward to the day we soon get to see her again. We thank the Lord for allowing us the privilege and blessing of knowing and loving Gaye Kaczmarek! Our lives have been deeply enriched as a result.
