I’m grateful for my friends, neighbors and family for all the love and support shown to John and I and our children. Dementia is a terrible disease. I’m grateful for all the prayers for John and for myself to be able to care for him the best I could for as long as I could. I’m grateful for Kurt and Margie Haaxma, Paul and Mary Rajasekhar, Terry and Beth Denmark and Russ Courtney for the Bible study and support group.

John led the study for 15 years until the confusion set in, then Terry has led it the past couple years. All our church families who were alongside to help the children and I am grateful. I am grateful for God’s mercy and grace to help and strengthen me. Our 43 years was a journey only God could afford to give us. I am grateful for the Spiritual leaders we learned from and who taught us to walk by faith. I will be eternally grateful and humble with thanksgiving in my heart for having invited Jesus to be Lord of our lives. God bless you all. I love you all.

SHIRLEY HERING,
