Dear Kevin and family,

I have just learned the news of the passing of Cindy from this life. I am so sorry that I did not know about her illness until this week. I know many have prayed for her and the family but I would like to have prayed for her too. I know what it is like to see the one you love slip away. Jackie only lived 8 months after he found out he had cancer and he was only 45. It has been 20 years ago this month that we buried him on Thanksgiving Day. I remember you and the other members of the quartet singing, "I'll Rise Again". That was such a comfort to me to think that Jesus rose from the dead and I know that Jackie and Cindy and all those we love and who love and serve our Lord will rise and go to Him in the cloud as He receives His children. Molly is 36 now and has two precious little boys that are 4 and 6. She lives in Memphis and teaches school. Alan is 33 and lives in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. He and his wife are expecting their first child in April. I grieved as much for my children as I did for myself when we lost Jackie and I know that you feel the same about your three boys. But God is still with me and He will be with you as you continue to provide for those precious sons of yours. It will not be easy and many tears will be shed but with your faith and time, you will make it to a time when you can find a measure of joy again. I still miss Jackie and I always will but I am 63 years old now and it won't be many years until by the grace of God, I will be with him again. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers as are the rest of the family. Be strong in the Lord and look to Him and He will keep you safe in His arms. You will always be dear to me and my family. Love, Libby Fox, Decatur, Alabama

In lieu of the dear sister, Libby, above...
"Blessed be the God and Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; who comforts us in all our affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God." II Cor. 3-4

I know you don't know me, but I am praying for you and your sons, that you will have comfort, strength, and faith.

To the Owens and the Terrells,
I can only imagine the sorrow and sadness you all must be feeling. I am a friend of Cindy's and Rob's from our high school days. I want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. As Rob can tell you I recently lost my younger sister Tammy (she was 39) to a long battle with cancer. I do not know of any words to ease your pain, as I still feel the loss of my sister and my friend. Cindy was a beautiful young woman when I knew her. She was a joy to be around and had a muscial gift that entertained many. God's choir received a joyous voice upon her arrival. I believe our loved ones are always looking over us from above and that does comfort me, I only hope you and yours will find your form of peace with this loss. God be with you. - Terry Deischer from Olney, IL.

Dear Owen & Terrell families,

Cindy was a wonderful person. She was a "big sister" to me back in Olney while her father ministered at PVCC there for many years. She often took me under her wing and also taught me to play the piano. May God be with all of you during this time of need.
In God's love,
Peggy (Gillespie) Smith

Kevin and the whole family, I wish with all my heart that I could be there at the funeral.
Cindy left a quiet and subtle impression on my life and heart. But it is a deep and lasting impression. I am thankful that I got to know her and even spend a summer teaching with her. That summer our lessons were on the suffereings of Job. "Yeah, though He slay me, yet will I trust Him." I know that Cindy did trust Him.
She is in a better place, but Phil and I know that you all must now walk through a dark valley in this life as you grieve. Daily, it will be our prayer that Yeshua will hold you close to His breast, wrap His loving arms around you, and whisper His peace to your hearts as He walks through it with you. May you find peace knowing that Cindy is now dancing in the arms of the Lover of her soul.
We love you all,
In the blood of our Savior,
Phil and DeAnna Willman

Fly away, beautiful angel, fly away,
For you might only be sad here, were you to stay.
For your every tomorrow will be brighter than our today,
So fly away, beautiful angel, fly away.

Chase the stars, beautiful angel, when you play,
Forever in the heavens is where you'll stay.
We will always remember the love you brought our way,
So fly away, blessed angel, fly away.

Dear Kevin,
I just learned of the passing of your sweet wife this evening. I want you to know that I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers over the next days, weeks, and months. When my best friend passed away of this terrible disease a couple of years ago, she also being the mother of three young children, I truly realized that the peace she was living with now would hold her through eternity. Even if we invited her back, she'd be reluctant to come because of the glory she is living in now. I pray and can see that you have a wonderful physical as well as spiritual family and I am so thankful for that--depend on them as well as our Lord who is so good to us. You are all in my prayers.

Kevin,

We have been praying, and praying and praying some more. At times like this I often find myself asking "What else can I do?" How strange to ask this when prayer is THE thing I need to do, the rest pales in comparison! My eight year old prayed last night that "God would hold Mr. Owen very, very tight and help his tears."

Kevin and Bobby,

I just heard of your wife and daughters death. And am thinking of you as I share your grief.
Kevin i don't think we have ever met, but you must be one terriffic guy from what I read. Bobby, I'm so sorry for your loss and that we have not stayed in touch over the years.
This is your cousin Arni Anderson
I would love to talk to you. Send me your phone number or an e-mail address and I'll make the contact.
Please, I found out about the death through my brother Bob, in Searcy by way of his connection with Fern and Jerry Hill.
God bless your families with a lot of good fortune in the future.
