jack's memorial

"If the Lord delights in a man's way, he makes his steps firm; though he
stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand." -Psalm 37:23-24

Angi and I would like to thank you all for your continued prayer and support. The last 4 days have been a blur, and truth be told, we've been keeping to ourselves. Lots of prayer has carried us, and there have been moments of pain and frustration, but there has also been a lot of joy; daily we remind ourselves that Jack has a new body, a heavenly body free from fault or defect, and that we will indeed see him again. It seems to get harder daily as we see other babies or stumble across something that reminds us of Jack, but God is faithful, and He does not allow us to wander too far from His side.

His memorial service (which can also be read "celebration service!") will
be on Good Friday, April 10th at 11 a.m. at Boulevard Christian Church.

We know that we will both be weeping, but we do not wish for this to be a
depressing funeral. That's not what this is. By the end we hope you will
praise God for the transformation He has brought about in our son.
God bless you greatly.

"Send forth your light and your truth, let them guide me; let them bring
me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell." -Psalm 43:3

-Tony, Angi, Gaige, and Jack.

(We've been reading a lot of Psalms. Our favorites are Psalm 18, 23 of
course, 27, 42, 43, 62, 84, 95, 139, and more, I just stopped listing the
rest.)

"For with God nothing will be impossible"
Luke 1:37

Together with Christ we are heirs of God's glory but if we are to share
His glory we must also share His suffering.
Romans 8:17
