To: Adolf & Lore, Mark, Kollen & Kaitlin, Steve, Renee and Patrick:
Your loving, devoted, selflesslessness all of these years as you cared for Jennifer, has not escaped the heart of God. It has been of such encouragement to us to see God's provisions for Jennifer and the strength and grace He provided to you all.
God used all of you to work out a plan to care for Jennifer, the children, and allow Mark to continue working. That is what family is all about! I praise God for the example and the encouragement that your devotion has been to our hearts. (I speak also for my adult children and families.)
It has been a long journey and we know Jennifer will be missed, greatly. We pray that God will fill your hearts with His grace and the peace that passes all understanding - that peace that only comes from Jesus.
The Lord has impressed on me to share this Scripture from His Word:
Matthew 11:28-30New International Version (NIV)
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Our love, prayers and deepest sympathy to all of you.
