Laurie, I remember meeting John during the summer you were my M-Fuge director and of course hearing stories about you both from Hope long before. I pray you feel God's strength and have enough left over to comfort your children's hearts too. Let those around you take care of what they can take care of for you. You are a gift.
My heart breaks for Laurie, the kids, and family on John leaving so soon. My heart rejoices that someday we all will be together again. Sending heartfelt condolences, prayers and love to all.
