Sometimes you have to say good-bye

But it is not always easy. Monday they did surgery on Emily Grace. Tuesday, she went to be with Jesus. I only got to see her two days, but she had a sweet spirit about her. Even the nurses noticed it and commented on it. Joel has written a nice little good-bye here.

James, and Debbie,

Thanks so much for being there for Joel and Renee. We know this has to be hard for you - too see your daughter going through pain and sorrow. And we grieve with them too, though it is not possible to really feel their pain. I'm so thankful that they have a strong faith in the Lord Jesus. We may not know His purposes in all this until Eternity, but are confident His will is the best for all concerned. Nancy and I will get down to visit them in July, Lord willing, or even sooner if they decide they'd like us to come right away. We believe the Lord will lead them to tell us what they need and when.

God bless,
Steve
