Dear Grace; I remember Joel and yourself fondly and have often wondered how you were. I remember coming to visit you for the first time at your daughter's home to meet you both and give you information on the Home Support and Adult Day Program. May you know God's comfort and peace in this difficult time. Laurie

Dear Grace and all the family: I send you my love and deepest sympathy at this time. I know the loneliness you feel in the passing of a beloved husband, especially one that shared so much with you over many years. As you probably recall, my Mike went to be with the Lord in 2003 and I can say that I miss him as much as ever - BUT I can also say that our beloved Lord draws very near in our loneliest mometns and His comfort is always enough. Praise the Lord, we have a sure hope of seeing our dear ones and enjoying all eternity in that home prepared by our Saviour. I also want to thank you for all the times you and Joel shared in the ministry of the Gospel for Ukraine. I remember your hospitality when we came to your church many years ago, and the many times you dropped off clothing, etc. for our containers, and especially thanks for your prayers for the work! May God bless you very especially at this time and you can be sure of my prayers for you all. If you are ever in Richmond, please drop in to see me if you can. You would be very welcome! John 10 is one of my favourite chapters - "My sheep hear My voice, and I KNOW THEM, and they follow Me; and I give unto them ETERNAL LIFE and they shall never perish, neither can any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, who gave them to Me, is greater than all, and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand." With much love, Olga.
