    I watch her service online.. it was beautiful. I had only met her once, but we shared the same love and desire to honor our sanctuary by putting it in order ever week for God... I will think of her commitment to this service every time I show God this love too...

    I give you this, one thought to keep. I am with you still, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on the ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush. I am the swift uplifting rush of quite birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not think of me as gone: I AM WITH YOU STILL IN EACH NEW DAWN!

    We offer our sincere condolences to you and your family. We will have y'all in our prayers.
