Mrs. Anderson,

I was saddened to hear about Mr. Anderson passing away. I remember him having a big smile and plenty of wisdom to share with a young rebel like me. I am a better person for knowing him. Thanks to both of you for making me feel welcomed at your home.

Jeff and Darin,

Your father was a good man. I'm sorry you have lost him. Take good care of your Mom. I didn't need to say that because I'm sure you will.

Our deepest sympathy is with your family. Jack was a wonderful brother-in-law that we shall always remember and cherish. We enjoyed all the fun times spent together and what great memories we have! Praying that God will comfort you and that loving memories will be a source of healing and comfort for all of you. God bless your family.
The Plan of The Master Weaver
Our lives are but fine weavings
That God and we prepare--
Each life becomes a fabric planned
And fashioned in His care.
We may not always see just how
The weavings intertwine,
But we must trust the Master's hand
And follow His design,
For He can view the pattern
Upon the upper side,
While we must look from underneath
And trust in Him to guide...
Sometimes a strand of sorrow
Is added to His plan,
And though it's difficult for us,
We still must understand
That it's He who fills the shuttle,
It's He who knows what's best,
So we must weave in patience
And leave to Him the rest...
Not till the loom is silent
And the shutles cease to fly
Shall God unroll the canvas
And explain the reason why--
The dark threads are as needed
In the Weaver's skillful hand
As the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern He has planned.
Thinking of You in This Time of Sorrow
