Deb De Graaf

My aunt has passed from this world, into the place the Father has prepared for her. I am sure she was greeted by her mother who preceded her in death about 10 years ago. My aunt was a dedicated wife, mother, sister, daughter, grandmother, aunt and friend. She was married for 35 years to her soulmate, my Uncle Mike, who will mourn for her terribly. She will be missed as much as she was loved by all of us.

Please pray for the comfort and peace of our family during her loss. I know the Lord is beside all of us, and He is our rock and we can rely on Him for our strength. I know that without Him we would be nothing and I take comfort in knowing that this loss was in His plan - He knows the plan for all of our lives, even when we have trouble understanding it ourselves. I know my aunt is looking into the face of Jesus today and although I am deeply saddened that she is not with us anymore, I have peace in knowing that she is happy and healthy and pain-free.

"Do not let your hearts by troubled. Trust in God and trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."
John 14:2-3

Love you all,
Nicki
