Hello Will, Emilie, Kyle, Gloria, and other family members...
I saved this post on my screen, so I could remember to pray for everyone these past few weeks, as you continue to grieve and remember this long year without your beloved Diane... wife, daughter, mom. You have all been a strong witness to your faith in Jesus Christ and continue to give Him all the glory. I am so blessed to have been able to meet each of you when we first came to SPC! I’m sad now we have not been able to invite you, Will, for dinners, lunches, etc in our 10 months of pandemic but we look forward to socializing once again in the new year. Have a blessed Christmas, knowing the great love, peace and joy of Jesus and the assurance of Diane being in the true presence of our Savior. Virtual hugs 🤗💕
Hello to All, It is hard to believe at times it has been over a year that Di has been in heaven and celebrating 2 birthdays with her heavenly father. I wonder if they blow out candles? She is healed and rejoicing every day. That is a place we all want to be, right? God has a plan for each of us and it is a good plan. We need to thank Him for all the good things He has given and not always ask for something we need Him to do.
I stand in awe of His love for me and how He has carried me this far.
What a glorious and powerful king. But most of all a loving king. I feel His presence and His arms around me constantly. I hope you can experience that as well. If not He is more than willing to be with you, just ask Him, he will answer?
Thank you all for your love and support for me and the Holm family. God bless each and every one of you.
Will
Emilie, I am drawn to your ongoing witness of the goodness of God in the midst of suffering. I want the kind of faith that you exhibit. I love that you drove out to see the sunrise recently and that you hear the Father's voice in the lyrics of songs. Your mother's legacy will remain strong through the generations.
What beautiful writing to honor beautiful Diane. The tree planted is on my walk up to my classroom and I can see if from my class windows. It is like Diane is with me each day with her smile, warm heart, and wonderful humor helping me get through these challenging teaching Covid days. Love to you all.
Thank you Emilie for this beautiful recounting of your journey as a family and God's presence and many gifts of love. We continue to hold you all in our hearts and prayers as you journey this holiday season and special days with out her physically with you.
Blessings and love- Don and Charlotte Ferris
❤️ Di was an indeed a gardener and just because she isn’t here anymore doesn’t mean the flowers she tended to will stop blooming. Quite the opposite I believe.
So often in passing we glance over the fact that the parting of ways with someone brings the rest of us closer together.
