Psalm 18:2
The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

My prayers and thoughts are with you all in this time of sorrow. Lean on the Lord and he will hold you up.

Beth, Timothy, Nathaniel, and Dillon - please accept my condolences for your loss. Boys, you will always have loving memories of your dad. I know you don't understand, but he is in Heaven with God and watching over you guys and your Mom. He will always be with you. May you be surrounded with God's blanket of peace and comfort. Time will lessen the pain. Beth-remember that God gives us what we can handle. Look to your friends, and family for support, but most importantly, do not loose faith. Trust in the Lord God Almighty, he will provide. Please know that you and the boys are in my prayers.

In Christ,

Kimberly McNally Sturgill
