A Funeral
Yesterday, my (Rob’s) precious grandmother passed away. Her name was Kay Krause. As I’ve begun to mourn her passing I’ve had to deal with the acute loneliness that a person feels when incidents like this occur and we serve the Lord overseas. As I reflect back on my godly grandmother’s life, all I have of that special woman is good memories. Really, I can’t think of a bad memory or a “bad” occasion with my grandmother. It is such a wonderful thing to have someone so sweet in your life who is always always your cheerleader. So, I want to take this space to say, “What a wonderful woman, my grandma, Kay.”
In the morning, I’ll be flying out to Wisconsin for her funeral. It will be good to see family again and to remember family. Please remember us in prayer and Sandy with the children for this week.

Ahh that is very sad news. We will be praying for you guys and your dad. It is always tough to lose a loved one. I pray God draws you all closer to Him through this experience. It sounds like she was a believer, so we have much joy knowing she is currently enjoying her new home “built by God”

So sorry for your loss, but happy to know of the memories that you have of your grandmother. Praying that your trip back to the US will go smoothly and that you will rejoice with other family members and friends and make many more memories. I’ve missed your lack of blog entries recently.
