Great-Grandpa Winger

In the morning of January 16th, Shari’s Grandfather Clifford Winger went to be with the Lord.  He was 95 years old.

We asked for your prayers earlier as Clifford and his wife (Shari’s Grandmother) Ada went through transition and temporary separation as he moved to where he could get better care.  We praise the Lord that she was able to move to the same building almost two weeks earlier, so they were at least able to see each other a bit before he passed away.  We’re also thankful that Shari’s parents were able to get some time off and were actually already on their way to Ontario, so they’ve been able to be with the rest of the family in Ontario to help with the arrangements.

Of course we would appreciate your continued prayers for Shari’s Grandmother, her children (including Shari’s mother) and our families.  Also, after a lot of prayer and discussion, Shari has decided to go to the funeral, which will be Saturday.  She leaves on Friday and will come back on Sunday.  So we would all appreciate your prayers during this time.

We’ll all miss Grandpa.  He was an inspiration to me even in the short years I knew him.  But we rejoice that He’s with His Saviour at last, and our separation is only temporary.
