Our dear family and friends,
This year Dan got to receive the best Christmas present that could ever be given.
On Wednesday the 20th he went peacefully to go be with Jesus and had an amazing homecoming. He was not alone, surrounded by so much love, He is now made whole and will never have to hurt again. While we are saddened and heart broken by the fact that we are facing his absence here on earth there is also the peace from God that he is rejoicing with our Heavenly Father and being reunited with our family through Christ that have gone before him. We are assured we will be together again. There in lies hope, the hope of Jesus.
Thank you to everyone that has been along side us praying through this journey to get Dan home peacefully and pain free! We have all coveted your prayers felt them carry us through this difficult chapter in our family. Please don’t stop praying as this next chapter will still be a hard one as we navigate what life will look like here without Dan.
One of the biggest blessings in this is we will get to see little pieces of him in each and every person he has ever worked with and had the opportunity of pouring himself into. Most importantly seeing him through our daughters, their husbands, and our grandbabies as they all have a piece of Dan inside them that will shine through with his passing.
We are asking that if anyone is interested in helping us during this time, if you could please do gift cards for food as we have a mixed bag of food restrictions/allergies between the whole family. Thank you so much for any assistance there! We are expecting this to be a bumpy next couple of weeks/months as we get all of the affairs addressed so the food assistance would be huge load off our minds. If this is not something you are able to do please continue to pray for all of us. We appreciate all your prayers for us as we navigate all the red tape, paperwork, etc, etc, etc!!!!!!!
As it stands right now there is no plan to dissolve Hook Ministries, I need to meet with our board and volunteers. We need prayer to hear the mind of Jesus concerning Hook Ministries, I would like to keep this running as a tribute to Dan’s legacy and all the things God has used him for. Dan put his whole heart into everything he did and I am honored that I get to keep this running for him.
A service has not been planned as of yet. We aren’t even 100% sure of exactly how that will all look, so I ask that you please bear with us and be patient. With the holidays and the starting of the New Year being before us we plan on focusing on our family unit to let this Christmas be a way to honor Dan and what he did for us all as a husband, father, papa, brother, uncle, mentor and friend.
Thank you again for your prayers and all that you have done or will do to help us during this time. We just ask to please be patient and understanding as we will either be delayed in any responses or may not even feel up to it. The girls are helping me with every step in this new chapter and may even be the one responding to any of the messages.
It has been an honor and I have been extremely blessed to have shared my life alongside Dan and raise our family to what it is now and get to see his legacy continued on.
