Prayers
Dear Joe and Family,
Often, we cannot understand why certain experiences come to us, but I want to assure you that there is One who understands and knows why. During this difficult time, I know that each of you will be leaning heavily upon the Lord, the Lord Kathy loved and served during her life.
Kathy was a special friend to many folks. She brought a lot of joy, not only to your home, but to the homes of many others. She was sweet and kind and her love for Jesus was reflected in her daily living. She blessed my ministry with her support during my time as her pastor.
Because of our faith in Christ, we know that the time of separation is only temporary and one day we shall see Kathy again.
May the Lord surround your hearts and may His love and comfort ever be yours.
With love in Christ,
Pastor Jerry
Mindy and family
Mindy and Family, Please know that I am thinking of you all. This is such a difficult time, nothing can prepare us for this day and the days to come. Just knowing that your mom is no longer suffering and is with God the father is comforting but we are human and our heart ache. Over the days the pain will lessen and found memories will keep you going. I know your mom loved you all so very much and will be there when we are called! Remember the scriptures that this enemy called "Death" will soon be done away with. (1 Cor. 15:26) Not only will death be no more, neither will sickness, pain and sorrow be anymore. (Rev. 21:3-4) God has said "He is making all things new". My prayers are with you all. I love you all! Gail

Mindy, Ken, Cody & Jenna,

With love and prayers.

To Joe & family: So were so
To Joe & family:
So were so sorry to hear of Kathy losing her battle. We are also so sorry we could not attend the services. We had two services that day, & Hal never bought a newspaper Thurs & asked me at 11:20AM Sat when the services were. I told him he had at that point missed them. I would not have been able to attend, since I've been dealing w/my own health issues. I will miss seeing my twin sister 12/4/48, & having our laugh at that. Our thoughts & prayers are w/you & the family. Please take care Joe.
I was so sadden to read about
I was so sadden to read about her death. Kathey and I became acquainted through the Christmas community outreach and she was such an inspiration. I saw her twice after she received the news about the cancer returning. I admire her strength and courage as she faced more obstacles in her final fight. The last thing she said to me was that she was putting it in God's hands and was lucky to have the family and friends to support her. May God keep your family in his arms as you go through this difficult time.
