Sad Day for Glynis

The funeral for Aunt Georgia, Glynis' mom's sister, was this morning in Macon. Though Aunt Georgia has been sick for quite awhile, we were sad to say goodbye to her. She has known the Lord for many years and is now free from suffering for which we are thankful. It is on days like today when family gathers back home for a funeral that we experience the reality that obedience to God's call is not without some sacrifice. Though Glynis was not able to be present with her family today, she has carried them closely in her heart as she has worked here at home in Chimaltenango. Though she is physically distant from them today, she is spending her day with Uncle Claude, MaMa, Aunt Mary, and other family members in her thoughts and prayers. We too are comforted that our children have stood today with their grandmother in our place. As you can, thanks for lifting up Glynis and her family to the Lord in prayer.

We mourn with you during this time, but also rejoice in the fact that you will see Aunt Georgia again one day in eternity, and will worship the Lord together.

Saw your website address in The Christian Index. We love you folks and are praying for you; sorry to hear about your aunt. We visited with Dr.E.C.Sheehan in Macon at the Carlyle Place about 2 weeks ago. He is 93. His wife wife back in June. This coming Dec. they would've been married 74 years. He is still pretty sharp but misses getting to preach. Would love to see you two. Love and prayers, Chuck and Laila Fletcher
