Howard and Jody, Dave and Lauralyn, and families.
We are saddened with you to hear of Virginia's passing into her Savior's loving arms, but we rejoice with you knowing that she had the best welcoming party she could ever ask for! John has been waiting for her to join the party of saints worshipping our Lord and we take great comfort in that.
What a wonderful woman of God! She loved Jesus dearly, loved the Word of God, loved John and loved her family. She modeled what a Christian wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother should be to so many who came after her and she ushered many into the kingdom of God.
If it weren't for John and Virginia loving our folks enough to bring the message of the gospel to Murdo, it's likely that our family's history and spiritual life would have taken a completely different path and we would not have experienced the abundant life found only in a relationship with Jesus Christ. For their love and sacrifice in proclaiming the gospel boldly, we are eternally grateful.
We have wonderful memories of Virginia that we hold dear to our hearts and pray that you will treasure your memories of her as you mourn her passing.
With much love and eternal appreciation,
Tim, Sue, Nick, Logan and Jett Thune
