On July 18th we all gathered to say farewell to not only the preachers wife and their children but to a great friend to many of us. Kristi has smiled when she could barely smile herself, she has laughed with many of us, she has cried with many of us. We are so thankful to have had her and their beautiful children as part of our lives now for quite some time.
We want to let her know that wherever she is she will always have friends for as long as us and some others are living and breathing.
Kristi is and has been a true walk of faith and beyond whatever direction she takes we know beyond a shadow of a doubt it will be the direction that God has chosen for them. I know that I have certainly been awe stricken in her attitude and her overwhelming love for the Lord and the way they have raised their children is UNBELIEVABLE.
When a ten year old can say to another ten year old "that's not very nice" or "you shouldn't say that" - then it's the prime example that each one of us should be in our daily lives. Who do our children learn from? They learn from their parents, caregivers and sometimes although it may be unfortunate at times, they learn from their peers.
We will love you and miss you Kristi, Austin and Alyssa but our door is always open and nothing will change here except you are eight hours away!
Many thanks for all you and your entire family has done for us and our family. We are very grateful and wish you nothing but success in your new endeavor as we continue to pray for each others families!
