I wanted to take this time and say to all of those who have lost the ones you love... I am so sorry for your losses. And I am sorry that I was not able to be there in your time of need. But know that He is always there and waiting for you to call on him for comfort.

I would like to take this time to say goodbye to those I knew well, those I did not know as well as I wish I had of. And to those who I did not know but have been blessed with knowing the loved ones you have left behind.

Goodbye Pastor Elwyn Grobe: You always had and will always have a special place within my heart. Your Sense of humor, wit and ability to get into trouble at staff meetings will always remind me to keep it real, and to live life to the fullest. I miss you my friend and wish that I could have had the opportunity to say goodbye at your service. But feel blessed to have had the opportunity to say goodbye regardless.

To Dori: You always had a hug and a warm smile for me sunday mornings and for that I am grateful. You were special to me in so many ways. I miss you and can't wait to see you again my friend.

Dear Lou-Anne: Your death was, has and is mourned by many. How happy our Father must have been to retrieve you home sister. There must have been a hell of a party awaiting you in Heaven. Go on and dance, sing and feel the freedom you so deserve.

Alisa: Wife of Ryan Kelly, mother of 2, friend, sister and daughter. I am sorry that I did not have to opportunity to meet you. But I do know your husband and you must have been so very special for him to have loved you the way he did. It is through your passings that I have learned that you do not have to know the person directly to feel their loss. May your life continue to be a blessing to those you left behind.


Its hard to be away from home when there is loss going on. I have however become aware that Gods love has no boundries, no limitations and no borders. He heard my prayers for all of you, he mourned your passing and celebrated your lives with me. Thank you for teaching me that life is so very valuable, precious and important. And although you have moved on into the kingdom and are living the life promissed to you by our Heavenly Father we must remember those you have left behind in prayer. For thier lives are just beginning anew once more. I pray that I can continue to have the strength to be there for my brothers and sisters.

Love Andrea xoxoxoxoxo
