If you'd like to view all, or any of Dad's memorial service, you can do so at this link.  Below as well is the program from the service, as well as the speaking times in the video.  

I'd expect this is our last CaringBridge update.  We cannot express enough the encouragement your prayers, cards, messages, and visits have been.  God's people are an army of love, and we are thankful for you.  Lauren Daigle has a song called "Rescue" that has been such a reminder to me of His promise to care for us - "I will send out an army to find you in the middle of the darkest night" - I believe God's people are the army he's sent to find us, and I know I can speak for all of us when I say we are so grateful. 

Please continue to pray for us.  Pray that all the paperwork and logistics that come with Dad's passing continue to go well.  Pray for good timing as we explore what's next.  Pray for peace even on the days the pain feels fresh.  And most importantly, pray that we are emboldened with a sense of purpose, even through a loss that seems senseless.  For we know God works together GOOD.  Pray that more are added to the count of "those who love Him" through the testimony of Dad's life and death.
