KJ's tribute to the many friends who wrote us
In 1999 Nancy painted an abstract self-portrait to convey the freedom she was finding as she walked with God. Instead of a photograph we choose to display that painting at her memorial service.
When she signed the work she also cited Job 33:27-30 which reads:
Then he comes to men and says, "I have sinned and perverted what was right, but I did not get what I deserved. He redeemed my soul from going down to the pit and I shall live to enjoy the light. God does all these things to a man--twice, even three times--to turn back his soul from the pit that the light of life may shine on him.
Her first public showing of that painting last week celebrated the completion of the journey she portrayed, now her soul is aglow with the light of life.

Nancy learned to live in the moment, not looking to far ahead or behind. I pray that you will be present to Him and the things He wants to show you during this time. This season is still ripe for His glory. We listen, wait and pray.
Thank you for continuing to share your journey with us. You and your family are and will be daily in my prayers as you walk through these rough times. I loved Nancy's painting and am so glad for Nancy that she indeed "lived to enjoy the light." Much of the light that the Lord provided her was through you, Dan, and your wonderful children, their spouses, and your precious grandchildren. Now Nancy is in Heaven, where God's light is so bright that no sun is needed, yet she carries with her there the memories of the light your family provided and waits to share His light in Heaven one day. God bless - Cindy
Dan,
I was not sure what I would read in coming to this site again-a little afraid perhaps! Would it be too sad, too hard?
No, once again you have beautifully captured with words the Glory of God and the Joy of loving a spouse thru laughter and tears!
Thank you! Would you please pray and consider at some future time, writing a book? The world needs to see and hear the God of the Universe stooping low to love us so wonderfully!
