Condolences
We will miss you
Helen thank you for 11 years of faithfulness and love for your church family. Thank you for being our prayer warrior, you prayed for everyone of our teen group by name! You faithfully attended church with broken bones and a bad heart, when you became bedridden your deepest regret was not being able to go to church. You were a blessing and an encouragement to everyone at Grace Community. You never complained or expressed any doubt in God's grace and God's love. You stood by your beloved husband faithfully for 39 years. You were a true and encouraging friend. You were grateful for everything you had, no matter how little or how much. Your greatest joy was your love for your Lord and for His people. In a time when so many want to know what the church can do for them you gloried in being at church and worshipping your Savior. Your only regret was that your physical disabilities kept you from doing more than being a prayer warrior. We are left with an empty wheelchair and a legacy of grace and courage. God bless you and keep you until we meet again.
all our love
Paulette and Pastor Bob
