Sandy and family! We were so sad to hear about Jerry! The encouragement he was to both of us during our time at Evangel is beyond measure! We however rejoice in the hope we have in Christ that he is now in the presence of His savior whom he loved and served! Count on our prayers during this difficult time may the God of all comfort bring peace.
