Dear David and Sunny,
It is amazing to me that Jesus still uses your life and example to encourage and instruct me how to follow Him. I am now starting my 17th year in teaching. Those rich memories of youth group still stir me to better follow the Lord and give my all to reach my students. I still remember that concrete slab of a basement at First Christian Church on Lemay. I remember Sunny playing the guitar and David passionately delivering God's word to me. Now, Jesus uses you through this pain to encourage and teach. You are in my prayers and heart. I love you both so much. I will be praying. Love, Andy
Sunny I am at a loss for words for the challenge that has been put in your and David's world. I am thinking about you both and praying. Let your Faith be greater than your fear. I admire your strength to share your story so beautifully. Fondly, Mollie Ressler
Dear David & Sunny, We are so very saddened to hear of David's diagnosis. We pray you will receive strength, peace & comfort, surrounded by love, family and friends during this most difficult time.
Dear Dave and Sunny,
Our hearts and minds can't wander very far before thoughts and prayers begin to flow in your direction. It seems we understand more and more why Paul said he could not decide whether he wanted to go to the Kingdom or remain on this earth. It is a very good thing that that decision remains in the kind and all knowing hands of our Jesus. Praying in every direction for the Lord to manifest His strength and comfort to you and yours. Carry on, as we carry on with you...
Our love,
Stan and Barb
Dear Sunny and David, David and I are so very sorry to hear this news. Wish we were closer to,give you and the girls some hugs. You are now in our thoughts constantly. Much love, Mary
Dear David and Sunny,
I've been thinking about you constantly and praying for God's mercy and love and discernable presence in these days and the weeks to come. David; you're going to get the very best cancer care; I have been and still am so impressed with the oncology community we have here in Fort Collins. But even so, I continually remember a story told to me about an elderly woman who, upon being told by her oncologist that she had six months, immediately informed her doctor that the number of her days are between her and her maker; not determined by a doctor...and she lived another 6 years. So I'm praying that God will help you trust Him with your days and the preciousness of your participation in each one. What God has created in you both so glorifies Him...I'm certain He has more for you in the days He gives. Praying for courage, strength, comfort and a healing miracle.
Life...so full and rich and so uncertain. And thus it is for you as you receive this sad sad news about David's health. I've been thinking of both of you since receiving your latest journal entry and wishing for appropriate words. I'm not sure I have them AND I want you to know I'm cheering you on. I do believe that as the five of you come together (David, Sunny and three daughters) that you will begin to identify how you can be most supportive of one another...what that looks like for each of you...and then how you can make it happen. Your faith will serve you well, and you will be consistently surrounded by the love of so many friends, in addition to family members.
I will be out of town for two weeks, with limited contact options, and will be with you in spirit as you move through them.
And I send my love and a big hug to each of you, Mims
I am stunned by your news. My heart goes out to you. May you see God's hand and crawl into it as everything around you seems to be shattering. May you sense His loving presence through your journey.
Dear David and Sunny, I have enjoyed being in contact with your three lovely daughters on Facebook but not this morning when I heard from Chelsea. I am shocked and devastated by this news... I will be praying for you David, and for you Sunny. I send you my love and hopefulness. Big giant hug, Diane Catlin
