My husband and I and many friends went to a Celebration of Life yesterday.
Sheri's daddy passed away on Palm Sunday and now is home with Jesus. I can hardly describe the joy and the pain. Watching a family miss their daddy, husband, boppa but celebrating his victory in Jesus! I am still so overwhelmed with emotion. I wish I would have known Pastor Rich better, but his whole life pointed to His Savior. My heart and soul long to know Jesus better because of Pastor Rich.

I love you my sweet Sheri and I am praying for you and yours.
I have been thinking and praying for their family much as well. It is so sad and yet so amazing. I didn't know him at all but I know by reading Sheri's blogs that he pointed to the savior. Imagine, he has seen him face-to-face!
I'm so sorry for Sheri, but so glad he is finally with his God.
Thanks, Carla. It brings me joy to read that hearing about my dad's life makes you want to know more of Jesus. My dad was a simple man, with a simple faith. But, in his simplicity, he and Jesus accomplished much together.
Yeah..it's bittersweet. I didn't want to watch my dad suffer any longer...now I see my mom suffer. She misses her best friend so much. But the same God who walked with my dad and turned every problem into an "opportunity" is the same God watching over my sweet Mom.
We covet your prayers for this difficult transition for us all, especially for my mom.
Thanks.
