"Our condolences to Jan´s family. I´m writing this with gratitude for the years we shared and the life we built for a time. Though our paths eventually went in different directions, I remain thankful for the good that came from our time together." We´re praying especially for Matt as he grieves his mother, and we take comfort knowing Jan is reunited with her daughter Sarah and mother Bev in the presence of the Lord. Lifting Rob in prayer as well, that God´s peace will surround him. May Jan rest in the hope of Christ, who said, `I am the resurrection and the life´ (John 11:25)."
