Dearest Mark, Sarah, Andy, and Becky-
We were so shocked and saddened to hear about Mary's passing last month. Our love and sincere condolences go out to each of you! Even though it has been many years since we were last with Mary, her amazing faith and service to the Lord, her fun-loving and playful spirit, and her friendship and encouragement will always be a gift we will cherish!
I have so many fond and funny memories of Mary when she volunteered as a Leader with our Middle school ministry at the SHAC---there was never a dull moment with Mary--she was a "real character" in the best sense of the word!. Our world certainly needs more of the optimism, joy, and the faith-filled servant's heart that she embodied. The world lost her far too soon.
May God hold you all close at this time. May His Everlasting Arms support you. And may His love, grace, and mercy provide the Peace that passes all understanding at this difficult time. As we mourn Mary's loss, we also rejoice that she is in the presence of her Everlasting Savior hearing those powerful words, "Well done, good and faithful Servant!"
With all our Love and Prayers,
Mark and DJ
