Our Angel

It is with heavy and grieving hearts that Erin and I announce the passing of our beautiful Brida Elizabeth to her heavenly Father.  She passed away yesterday morning peacefully in her sleep.  This is a very difficult time for us and we are requesting your prayers for Brida and her family.  

Thank you all for your prayers, gifts, and service to us these past couple of months.  We will be posting the schedule for services later today.

  21. Sometimes angels are sent for only a short time, til they have blessed us on earth as much as they can. Once they are done here, they go back to heaven to continue the blessings.
    Find Peace in God,
