Sam and Gayle,
Please know my heart has not stopped grieving for you since the day I learned of our earthly loss and heaven's gain. I did not know Kendall, but I know both of you, and that is testimony enough of the type of gift she was to a hurting world. I will be at a Women's Leadership retreat Friday and Saturday and will not be able to physically show my respect. God is a God of wonders and majesty and all the things we try to imagine about heaven are being experienced by Kendall who is only a prayer away. Until Gabriel comes, be listening for the trumpets. We will join Kendall in our resurrected bodies living in a resurrected world with a resurrected Savior! Love you both and will remain in intercession. Tonya and jeff Penfield
