Welcome home, Larry!

The most amazing man I've ever had the pleasure of knowing got his healing today and met his Savior face to face. What a glorious day! We are saddened beyond belief but Heaven rejoices!



Welcome Home, Larry!

Also, wanted to add, my Mom won the "Woman of the Week" nomination with our local Christian radio station that I submitted her for that I talked about here. Also,click the link here to listen to the audio of me on the air this morning honoring my Mom. I was beyond thrilled to be able to do this for her! So deserving!

As this journey has now come to an end, for everyone that has lifted up prayers on our behalf and walked the journey with us, thank you does not seem like enough. We love you all.  It was an honor to share Larry's story with you and share his faith. There's great hope in eternity and knowing we'll see him again. We covet your prayers in the days ahead.

I am still in awe of the way you have dealt with this whole situation. I loss my dad in an instant and I can't imagine how tough it has been losing Larry slowly. I worked with hospice when my grandma was passing into her Eternal Reward in September and it is SO tough. I am praying that God envelops you in His love and helps you through this tough time. Know that you have a HUGE community here who have witnessed to the wonderful man Larry was.

Yesterday's influence, today's memories, tomorrow's reunion...What a true blessing to be able to walk beside a family who embodies the contentness, peace, and ecpectancy of a life celebrated in Jesus! Holding you close in thought and prayer as you walk through this time!

p.s. I promise I'm not a stranger, I came across your blog about a year ago, and was so encouraged by finding another single lady living life from an eternal perspective! Hope we can continue to connect more in the future!
