Nancy Murray

Dear Friends and Family of Hope
 
We have suffered a great loss today in our Hope family.  Nancy Murray went home to be with the Lord this morning.  She and Bill have been such a blessing to our church and we will miss her with all our hearts.  She passed away suddenly and unexpectedly after not feeling well yesterday.  It is believed that she suffered a stroke.
 
Nancy has been a faithful servant and a shining example of humility, grace, kindness, gentleness, and love.  God truly blessed us to have her as a part of our family.  We rejoice that we know she is with our Lord and enjoying the splendor of heaven and the wonder of being with Jesus.  But we grieve the loss of her presence with us on this earth.  Please lift up Bill and their children today and this week.  Also, for Nancy's sister and brother-in-law, Fran and Pat Harkin.
 
We don't know many details for service arrangements at this point, but we will pass them along when we have them.  I know Bill's family at Hope will rise to stand with him in this time of mourning.  Let us seek the Lord for the ways we can reflect God's love, concern, and care for this dear family during this time.
 
Thank you all for your faithfulness in Christ!  I am confident the Lord will use us to love as He does this week.
Pastor Mark
