Dear Family, While you morn your loss today, Mary Lou is at peace and joyfully celebrating her arrival in Heaven with Jesus and her reunion with Rich and all of God’s dearly departed children. Mary Lou touched many lives while here and all of us are stronger, better Christian’s because of the unconditional love she so freely gave to all. Remembering our Ministries Formation graduation theme I share the following verse from T.S. Eliot: “We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started… and know the place for the first time.”
Blessings and prayers to you and yours during this time.
