YAY for READING!!!

yes...

how your GGMarge would have loved ALL of you!!!

i found this last night as i was looking for another document... i'd forgotten all about this...
but, this is the write-up i put together for your GGMarge's death announcement in her alma mater's -- TRINITY EVANGELICAL DIVINITY SCHOOL -- magazine

all about FAITH...

i'm praying that all 9 of you will always 

live by faith in our great God!!

  

your Great-Grandfather, Justino Lacanilao, would have been 90 today!!

here's what i posted on Facebook today:

before this day ends, i just wanted to say how much i miss my father-in-law, Justino Lacanilao. he was a truly lovely man! so kind, so calm, so helpful, so Godly...

today would have been his 90th birthday.

our son Justin who was named after him loves to tell of his fondest memory of his grandpa--that of finding him sitting at the kitchen table every morning having his devotions. it made a significant impact on Justin's life. his grandpa would be so proud to see what a fine man Justin has become. my father-in-law had a big part in who Justin is today.

if i have any regrets, it's that my father-in-law never got to meet any of his great-grandchildren. josiah was born 5 years after the Lord took him home. if he had been alive, he would have absolutely doted on his first great-grandchild! 

well, Dad, this is to let you know that your grandkids turned out just fine! your great-grandkids are wonderful individuals and you would also be very proud of them!

we miss you desperately and really wish you were here so we could just hang out with you, seek your advice and just have the chance again to tell you how much we love you!! but, we have the assurance that we WILL see you again in glory and we're looking forward to that grand reunion in heaven someday!!

it's best to ALWAYS remember this!!!
