It's hard to believe that Dad has been with the Lord for over five weeks. The fantastic thing is that, in the words of the song, he has "no less days to sing God's praise" than when he started. Hallelujah!
Dad loved music and I have no doubt he's singing God's praises right now! That's why the family (in consultation with the church leadership) has decided that the most appropriate use of Dad's memorial fund would be to purchase new songbooks for the church. Hymns of Grace will be put to good use as Dad's earthbound church family continues to glorify God as we run the race.
Now the embarrassing part...it seems like the Post Office prefers to deliver the church's mail to the Post Office box rather than the street address we provided. We apologize to those of you who received returned mail. The correct mailing address for Grace Community Church is PO Box 9311, Wilmington, DE 19809. Of course, you are always welcome to fellowship in person at the Christiana Road address. I heard that soon they're going to have some awesomely wonderful songbooks to augment their worship... :)
Last but not least: many, many thanks to all who have provided support to Mom and the family. While we're happy for Dad and would never wish him back in his suffering, earthly body, his passing definitely left a gap that will never be filled until we're united in glory. We sincerely appreciate everything each of you have done to ease our sorrow and thank the Lord for the many ways you have truly put the love of Christ into action.
Thank you.
