Family loss

Yesterday we got the news that Shari’s Grandmother (her Mom’s Mom) had passed away (in the afternoon). Her name was Ada Winger. We praise the Lord that she knew and loved the Saviour.

Ada hadn’t been well for some time, but this was still pretty sudden. In fact, Shari’s Mom had just talked to her yesterday morning. She (Ada) had company, so she was going to call back in the afternoon.

We would appreciate your prayers for us and the family and especially Shari’s Mom. The family has suffered quite a bit of loss over the past few months. Yesterday some of the family near Ada were heading out to PEI for holidays. Shari’s parents and sister were planning to come to Calgary today to see Shari’s brother and his family, who will be moving to Arizona on Monday. Of course all these plans have changed, and they’ll be heading out to Ontario today for the weekend and the funeral.

Because it was so sudden we don’t have a lot of details yet, but I just wanted to let you know so that you could pray. The funeral will be held on Tuesday.
