Andy:

You will forever be missed...

January 23, 2015

With the shock of such an unexpected death, we, who know the Lord Jesus, place our hope and peace in the eternal life that has been promised and now delivered for Andy. We who share in this faith believe that we will join him with our Lord on that Day. Our hearts and prayers go to the Lord for Sarah and the children. We ask God to wrap them in his infinite love and peace at this time and in the days to come. Andy was a reflection of grace and joy; but more than that, he knew his maker and redeemer, with whom he now lives at peace waiting for the resurrection. We mourn this painful time with you Sarah, your children; and with the Holtan and Gilbert family. We are sad, but not as friends without hope. May you find strength to endure this pain. With Agape love, Phil and Melede Meinzen and family
