Psalm 23

The LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever

We will miss you Holly

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

My thoughts and prayers are with Holly's Family and Shannon Cundiff and his family. Holly will be missed and thought of by many. May the Lord help you to get through this when you need his strength. May the tears be of joy of the fabulous memories that you will hold dear to your heart.

Your all in my prayers and thoughts. I can not imagine the pain you are all experiencing and I pray that God gives you His grace and peace during this time of grief. One day soon He will wipe away every tear and we will be with Holly in Heaven. Alex, I love you sweetheart and I pray that God holds you and your sisters closer still during this extremely difficult time.
Carol, Donnie, Tonia, and Shannon I know that Jesus will give you his strength, peace, and comfort and I am praying incessantly for you. I thank you Lord that Holly has no more pain and that she is with you now.
Growing up together in church Holly always had a heart for children. She loved being in the nursery and holding all the babies. I knew then she would be a great mother and she was. She will be deeply missed.

To the Sweeney Family, the kids and Shannon:

Please know that we will be praying for you and your families during the coming months as you cope with this tremendous loss. Our sister, Amy, and Holly were good friends through junior high, high school and beyond and Holly always made our entire family laugh. It seemed for several years that I would run Holly and Amy back and forth between each other's houses multiple times a day. She had such a great sense of humor.

I can't imagine the grief and loss you must feel at this time, but I do know that God will hold you in the palm of His hand and that the Lord is faithful to provide the peace that passes all understanding.

It was such a shock to hear about Holly's illness. I know that when the loss is so new, words cannot do much, but please know that we are interceding for you to the Father that he will comfort you and fill you with his love.

Love, The Whitaker Family (Phil, Linda, Melanie, Jessica, Amy, & Katie)
