Hello to you Paul- and your wonderful family.
Michael and I were blessed to be invited to watch Sally’s celebration of Life service tonight with the McGoughs and other families from the Henrietta Wesleyan church that we attended in the early 1990’s.
I want to let you know that you and Sally were used by the Lord in such powerful ways during this time of our lives. Sally made a trip out to visit me at our home in North Chili- she wanted to “hear my story”. I had only recently had my eyes opened to the Lord, and was walking in my new faith in Christ. After listening intently to my story, Sally said that “I was a product of my grandmother’s prayers”. I have often reflected on that statement; I think that it is true.
I also remember you having us to your home for a meal- and Sally serving homemade mint tea, that I have tried re-create...but never succeeded in making it taste quite as good.
Finally, I want you to know that my husband was the one who decided we were going to go to your church. He had heard of the way you encouraged your daughter to go on and meet the Lord as her battle with cancer was ending. Although Michael didn’t know the Lord at this time, he loved his family, and wanted to meet you and learn about your strong trust and faith in God.
The Lord used you, and Henrietta Wesleyan, and Patti and Bill McGough to soften Michael’s heart; and he now knows and trusts Jesus for himself.
We thank you, and bless you in Jesus name. Even now, we find ourselves receiving from you again; tonight was a sweet remembrance of these special times, but also inspiration to live our lives like you and Sally; sharing the love of Christ.
With deep appreciation and prayers for you during this season-Sandy and Michael
