I can't begin to pretend to have words to comfort your hearts - one thing I know is that our loving Heavenly Father remains faithful and good when the circumstances of life make no sense, and if we but hold on to His hand He will guide us through our tomorrows one day at a time. You all are in our prayers...and we love you much.

Chrystal, Jonathan, Parker, Rev. Chappell and family members, I want to extend my heartfelt sympathy at the loss of Lunden. Lunden touched more lives and hearts in her three plus years here, more than most of us do in a lifetime! As humans, our first instinct is to ask why, but as followers of Jesus, we know that His ways and thoughts are not ours, and Lunden had fulfilled her purpose here and God called her home. She is at rest, and we do not mourn for her, but for the giant hole we will all have in our lives without her. I pray that God will give you that Peace that surpasses all understanding at this time. Through tears, I will not ask why, but thank God for that life that he blessed us with in the time she was here. Anything you need.......Hugs and prayers
