In thinking about the date today, my heart and mind reflects back once again to "this time last year." October 11, 2008 was the day of Jerry's Memorial Service and burial in Little Rock, AR. I thought I would share a picture of Jerry's memorial marker with you. Many of you will never have a chance to visit it, so I wanted you to see it. Although it is a reminder of the acute sadness we feel in his absence, it is still a very special place. This is the very spot from which Jerry will bodily rise again!
For we believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are still alive, and remain until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
1 Thessalonians 4:14-17
With Much Love,
Candy

Candy,
I haven't been on here in a while. I just want you to know I still think of you and pray for you. It's hard to believe Jerry has been gone for a year. My mom has been gone 34 years and my dad almost 8 and I still remember the details of those "days" every year on the anniversaries of their deaths. Time heals, but you never stop missing them. Love to you and Natalie and Joshua.
Jill
