At present we see only puzzling reflections in a mirror, but one day we shall see face to face. My knowledge know is partial then it will be whole like God’s knowledge of me.
1 Corinthians 13:12 (Revised English Bible)
It is with a sad heart that I share with you that Steve Young passed away yesterday afternoon after a long battle with Alzheimer. Please keep Ruthann and her family in your prayers as she morns his loss.
Please also keep Justin Horn and his family in your prayers as his father passed away today. He is on his way to Wichita to be with his family. Please pray for safe travels and comfort.
May light perpetual shine on Steve and Justin's dad.
