In Memory

Lyman, Evelyn, Shorty, and me on their front porch in Colorado.

We will  meet together on Saturday,September 23rd, 5:00 PM at the Mountain Community Mennonite Church. We would be honored should you be able join us; dinner will follow at the church.

I sent this in reply: 

Evelyn,

 

Both Lyman and you were our guardian angels when we moved into your neighborhood.  You were the first ones to befriend us and we had many a pleasant evening in your house by Mt. Herman eating pie, listening to Lyman tell his wonderful stories of the "old days," watching the Hummingbirds, the deer that night, and so much more.  He had a long life and was one of the finest human beings I have ever had the pleasure to meet.  Heaven truly got another angel today.  I just wanted to express our sorrow to you and your beautiful family.  We rejoice with you that Lyman does not have to suffer anymore and has gone on to a better place, but I do know the grief that also comes along when we lose a loved one.  Isn't it wonderful to know that because of Jesus Christ's sacrifice, we will see our loved ones again one day?  I tell you, that is what has kept me going after losing my Dad, my brother, my grandparents, friends, and so many other loved ones.  May the Holy Spirit bring you comfort during the days ahead.  We are praying for you and your health issues as well.  I have some wonderful news, but I am currently working, so I will send you an update as soon as I can.  Again, our sincere condolences.  We loved Lyman very much, as we love you.

 

God Bless,

 

Susan and family
