Our Wife, Mama, Gigi, Sister, Aunt and friend is with Jesus now. We want you all to know how amazing it has been to feel your support and love through your fervent prayers. Your prayers were answered. Miracles happened. It was a miracle that she didn’t bleed to death in the beginning of all of this. It was a miracle that we all got to see her. It was a miracle that Daddy, TJ and I were able to see her respond to us and to recognize that we were there. It was a miracle to get amazing nurses and doctors who went above and beyond their job descriptions to help us and inform us and do everything they possibly could to try to fix her. Her healing has taken place in a different way than we had hoped but she is in heaven, completely healed. She is seeing her Daddy for the first time in 44 years. She and her nephew Brian and her Mama and other friends are reuniting and praising God together (with especially beautiful music today).
We will see His glory in this and we know that God will use this to draw us closer to Him and pray that it will draw other people to Him, through the blood of Jesus, for the first time. It is wonderful to see how many people were touched by Mama and we thank you all for loving her. The void in our lives will be huge. She took care of all of us and loved us and so many others with all of her heart. This will be a very difficult time for us, but we trust that the Lord will bring us through it with a renewed sense of confidence in His plan for each of us, knowing that our ultimate goal is to take as many people with us when we see her again as we spend eternity in heaven with our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Please say a special prayer for our Daddy. He has lost his best friend who has loved him for 34 years. His heart is aching and this road will be tough. He will be surrounded by the love of family, church family and friends but prayer is what will sustain him.
The body of Christ came through in a mighty way by ministering to us over the last few terrible days and we will be forever grateful to you for that.
In the Sweet Love of Christ,
Kerry, Sarah, Jared, TJ, Beth, Karen, Mark, & Heidi
“So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him.” 2 Corinthians 5:6-9
