One Year

Today is the one year anniversary of Joyce graduating to heaven! I can't even begin to thank all of you who have lifted up my family and I throughout this tough year. Your prayers and cards and calls and visits have all been the mortar that's held the wall together.

"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." Ps 133:1

"So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another." Ro. 12:5

In His Arm's (and held up by your's too!)

  1. Dearest Pat, We have been praying for you every day, that the Lord would sustain you through the "year of firsts." He is faithful. We wanted to let you know we are praying for you today, Joyce's one year anniversary in Heaven. We love you and will continue to lift you up. Love in Jesus, The Asman Family (Todd, Rachel, Raylene & Chetty in Heaven)

  2. Hi Pat,
    We are so sorry for your loss and the difficult days you have had no choice but to experience during this last year, and still grateful that Joyce is no longer in pain - - - but also thankful that you two had the opportunity to experience such a loving relationship with Jesus in the center. We will continue to pray for you in this coming second year of "different life." All of the "firsts" have been done - difficult days to walk through - in fact, exhausting to walk through!!! . . . but now they are past too. We will be praying for your upcoming surgery, for your family - and that you have clear direction through this next year. The "new norm" is tough - but God DOES use everything to work for His good - as you well know. We will be praying for your life to be full, according to His will, and for you to experience a continual flow of peace and joy - that you will walk in your "new norm" in the second year of "different life" with grace and Truth by your side - and that your example will touch lives for Christ throughout the world.
    God bless you,
    Wayne & Linda
