Heavens declare and angels sing
Worship now our LORD and King

Tis night, hush, quiet. Fear is gone
Hear now, the glorious song.

From Father and Mother he will leave
Only to his wife he will cleave

Til death do us part
Vowed from the heart

Stories that filled our lives
History, ancestry and family ties

An appointed one, the surviving heir
Charged now to love, watch and care.

In morning sun and sky eagle sore
To live and love and conquer more

We know not what brings tomorrow
Laughter, tears, pain and sorrow

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Gone in the wind, a gentle hush

Purple Gold Blue and White
Glittering! Brilliant!
So bright!

At heaven's gate a glorious
chorus
Embrace those gone before us

The table set, a banquet to be
Rejoice! I am home with thee

Tracey and Austin,

I hope these words from Psalm 46 will help calm your soul during this difficult time.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
The Lord of Hosts is with us; and the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Pastor and Mrs. Clark

It can be so hard to face the first year without your loved one, but the love of family and friends can carry you through.

June 25, 2013

I didn't know Matthew, but wanted to extend heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. I can't even imagine going through something like this. Matthew must have had a brave heart. His line of work is dangerous all the time, yet he had the courage to carry on.
Also, Matthew, thank you so much for your service to our country. A very brave soul.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. My husband, Matt, worked with Matt at Urban and only has kind words to say about him. We are deeply saddened and affected by this tragic event, and my husband noted that he enjoyed getting to work with Matt, as he always wore a smile, worked hard and was in a good mood. They often commented to one another that they had the best name out there! Although we have never met, I am sending hugs your way.
