Kathy, Kim, Kristie. My prayers are with your family. I remember each of you from the North Hebron Baptist Church. Great memories. Trusting the Lord to give grace for each day.
Jay and Family, Condolences don’t even begin to offer anything to ease the pain of Kendra’s passing. It is said that the deeper you love, the deeper you grieve. Shortly after hearing of the news, the song, “Well Done” by the Afters came on the radio. I am including some of the lyrics and await the day when we are together with Kendra again. Until then, a huge void has been left, tears flow like rivers, and the ache crippling. Love to you all.
“What will it be like when my pain is gone
And all the worries of this world just fade away?
What will it be like when You call my name
And that moment when I see You face to face?
I’m waiting my whole life to hear You say
Well done, well done
My good and faithful one
Welcome to the place where you belong
Well done, well done
My beloved child
You have run the race and now you’re home
Welcome to the place where you belong
What will it be like when tears are washed away
And every broken thing will finally be made whole?
What will it be like when I come into Your glory
Standing in the presence of a love so beautiful?
I’m waiting my whole life for that day
What will it be like when I hear that sound?
All of heaven’s angels crying out
Singing holy, holy, holy are You, Lord
Singing holy, holy, holy are You, Lord
Singing holy, holy, holy are You, Lord
Waiting my whole life for that day
Well done, well done
My beloved child” Kendra
