tuesday evening, april 2 ~ thank you

we wanted to send this out to everyone personally, but we felt this would be a better way to reach you all, including those of you who we don't even know that have been praying for our dad. our words cannot express our gratitude:

We would like to say thank you for everything you have done for Terry these past few months. The overwhelming out-pouring of generosity, food, visits, phone calls and, most importantly, the prayers lifting him up to the Lord. It has been astounding. Truly, you have all been an honor to our Lord.

Our Dad has always been an amazing person to us. His quiet strength, wisdom, and sense of humor are things we have all admired. During this past month we have been able to see how much he is admired far beyond the walls of our homes.

Dad has made an impact on so many in his life. We wanted to let you know what an impact you all have had on him (and us) during his illness. He has been humbled at the thoughts and prayers that have been said in his behalf.

Dad continues to work hard each day, but he still has a good way to go. Please continue to lift him up in prayer.

On behalf of our Mom and Dad, we would like to say, "Thank You."

Mandy, Dane, Adam, Angie, Whitney, Reed, Kaitlin, Bentley, Berkley, Emma Claire, Banin and Strohm
