In loving memory...

Now I come to the most challenging post I have ever written... In October, my dear little friend William went to be with Jesus. It was so very unexpected and as you can only imagine, so incredibly hard for his family and all of us who loved him.  It was amazing to realize that William faithfully accomplished the mission that God had for him - impacting the lives of so many in his short 8 1/2 years of life - something that takes most of us a longer lifetime to complete.  He touched so many lives and still continues to touch lives even now. He persevered through numerous challenges - always smiling. Anyone who knew William can attest to that fact - he ALWAYS wore a smile. Though he couldn't run physically, he did indeed run with endurance the race his Savior had set before him. He loved Jesus and now he is with his Lord. Now William can run, he can see, he can do everything he was unable to do before...and he is whole. No more pain. No more challenges. Though he has left a hole in each of those who loved him, we can rejoice and look forward to the day that we will see him again. Please lift our dear friends, the "O" family, up in prayer as they continue to walk through this very difficult time...
