Grandma


Mark's grandma quietly slipped away on Wednesday evening. She was born in the Netherlands and eventually immigrated to the United States. She leaves behind five sons (of six: one of her boys died in 2001) and one daughter (Mark's mom), along with 25 grandchildren and 31 great-grandchildren. She knew her Lord well, grandma did, and we are thankful she is with Him now.

The funeral will be Tuesday. Her earnest prayer, for years, has been that her sons would know Jesus. Will you pray with us that somehow, through her death- they might seek the One she knew and loved so well?
