From Dad

HEAVEN IS A WONDERFUL PLACE
My dear wife Jeanette knows that now in a way that we too shall one day know, through our faith in Jesus Christ. I am grateful to the angels that
bore her up to her eternal life in the mansions prepared for us by our Savior, Jesus.
Those angels include the three daughters that God gave us named Deborah, Sharon, and Amy. As she served them all her days here on earth, so they returned the loving favor by providing extraordinary care for her in her final days here on earth. They were ably assisted by Monarch Hospice nurse Laura and all the medical personnel that shaped the plan of action. A host of angels completed the loving environment by providing every imaginable comfort. Food was supplied in abundance, visitors arrived to bring comfort, flowers and cards arrived daily, prayer support was widespread from across the nation and beyond, quilters added their artistic contributions, clergy visited and called to add their devotional thoughts and prayers, veterans of this cancer trail added insight from experience, and so it progressed. From September 12, when the cancer was first diagnosed during a trip to the ER at Delnor Hospital, to October 12, when a host of angels gathered in a joyful celebration of life at Immanuel Lutheran Church, we were involved in a whirlwind of activity that clearly illustrated the ultimate truth that GOD IS LOVE. I could fill the rest of this newsletter with detailed reports of angels that contributed to this incredible journey. But let it suffice to say that I am forever grateful to the countless number of family and friends that upheld us in their arms as we awaited the arrival of the final host of angels that carried Jeanette into the arms of our Lord to take up her place in the
heavenly realms prepared by our Savior, Jesus. It has been an incredible journey! We have witnessed an amazing masterpiece of the Creator's loving handiwork. No quilt can match the quiltwork that our Lord performed as he gathered my beloved wife to the place where she awaits
the happy reunion of all who place their hope in Jesus Christ. May this be a spiritual learning experience for all who knew and loved Jeanette! Jesus Christ is risen!
He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
