This is a written note that is still on my refrigerator, that is in Susan's handwriting. She had written it down years ago when she was going through the cancer, in the middle of the trial. She had such a focus on our Lord. It is a statement of faith. Simply FAITH. Trusting in Him for all of our needs, through good times and bad. And Susan is remembered today. My angel was ushered into the presence of our Lord two years today after seven years of breast cancer. She Praised Him in the storm and showed us how to Trust Him. Jesus said in Matthew 11: 28-30,
28"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.
29"Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS.
30"For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
We are all doing well. God holds us close when we need Him most. Some prayer requests:
1) Sarah is without work right now. Jeff, whom she works for as a nanny, has been diagnosed with throat cancer. So she is not really working for Jeff right now. Also, two weeks ago, Sarah was in an accident when she tried to avoid a deer. This happened on a mountain pass, and she hit the right side barrier, bounced off to the center barrier. She did not roll the Jeep but it was totaled. She had insurance but she is without wheels right now too. So she is going through a lot right now.
2) Laura is getting headaches these days. Trying to figure out what may be causing them. Have to take her to a specialist to further diagnose what may be going on.

Good to see the blogs, the kids are growing so fast--it was fun to have Kayla at the bday party, she is such a sweetie! We will be praying for Laura's headaches--I remember her having them when she was younger--we are thankful that Sarah is ok but alot to go through an accident like that--the Lord has a plan for that beautiful one. I think of Susan daily and then remember to pray for your sweet family. Much love, Cindy
Dear Doug and family,
I was thinking of all of you on this day of remembrance of Susan. Her trust and faith in the Lord is shared with many. I thank you for keeping us updated on the family. You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Jean
Always enjoy thinking of and remembering Susan as I walk with Belle over the grassfields getting ready for Spring Dash and Bloomsday....We're not quite marathon material here, yet, folks! Praying with you for relief of Laura's headaches, and God's continued provision and direction in Sara's life. Praying Eph 3:14-21, especially verse 16 "I pray that from His glorious, unlimited resources he will give you mighty inner strength through His Holy Spirit!" ....in Jesus-the Drechsels
