More Than Loving

Dear Friends,

We have lost a member of our family this week. My Father-In-Law Duane E. Hammar, passed away on 09/09/2009. He will be greatly missed by family and friends.

A kind hearted father of four sons and a special Papa to nine grand children.

He will have a military service near our home at the Riverside National Cemetery next week.
A sad time for our family because he will be missed here on Earth, but we also have abundant Joy that we will be reunited with him one day in Heaven.

Pslam 16:11

You will show me the path of life; In your presence is fullness of joy; At your right hand are pleasures forever more.

Pictures have become so special this week. Memories from the past are a beautiful way to remember and celebrate Duane's life.

We love you and we will miss you Papa Duane.

He will be missed

Hello blogging friends,

Pastor Ralph Arthur our good friend and one of the pastors from our church Harvest Christian Fellowship passed away suddenly on February 21. Not feeling well Saturday morning he laid down for a morning nap and woke up a while later for his first day in heaven.

This man loved to serve people, he was drawn to take on all of the "tough" pastoral jobs (cancer, bereavement, convalescent, hospital visitation ministries and performed many memorial services). He touched so many lives in our church family and in the Riverside Community.

He was an amazingly giving man. A Pastor, Father, Husband, Brother, Worship Leader and now a citizen of Heaven.

Please join me in praying for his Family. He is survived by his wife Cheri, and children Tommy, Joshua, David, Caleb and Andrea.

Ralph's favorite Bible verse was Psalms 116:1-2

He will truly be missed, his warm smile, encouraging words and his servant heart will not be forgotten soon. Ralph has left an dynamic legacy for his family and our church.

He blessed our family and we feel privileged to have known him.

2 Corinthians 5:7-8
For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

Christopher Laurie

Hello Blogging friends,

This is a picture of Christopher Laurie and his family. Christopher was tragically killed in a car accident Thursday July 24th on his way to work. My husband worked with Chris at our church in the Design Department.

I felt compelled to share this photo and would ask you to pray for his family, our church, my husband and the Design department that worked with Chris everyday.

A favorite pass time for Chris was surfing and he loved the beach. In honor of him I thought I would share a few beach photos with you.

We have lost a creative artist, father, husband, son, co-worker and friend. He will truly be missed.

For more information about Chris please go to the church website www.harvest.org
