In the design of Gods heart a woman displayed HIS character and compassion for those HE would deign to intersect her pathway. Sometimes they came to Him thru her words, while other times HE purposed HIS plans in her actions. To reach out to a child, she would gracefully sit on the floor and tenderly speak of HIS LOVE while orchestrating the scene for the dolls to convey joy and plans for eternity. Her pen was often used by GOD to guide the reader to THE SAVIOUR. Such a harvest of souls are greeting her with the embrace of welcome to the home where sorrows cease. We who await our reunion do so knowing her GOD is available to us. Her family includes those who await our own SUMMONS to THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

So sorry for your loss, but happy for Heavens's gain. There is no way a small box could hold all the memories Debbie and I have of your wife/co-pastor/mother. She will always hold a very special place in our hearts. I will always remember the little "talks" we had while working at the West Corps and then down thru the years. Her grace and witness were present in every aspect of her life. May God fill your hearts with the memories that you hold dearest and give you strength in the coming days and weeks.
