Today is Monday.
The day of the week Dan walked in to volunteer his time at Reach & Restore to connect with our clients over the phone. He did it with a caring, tender heart and even developed friendships with the clients over the years. Whether it was a reminder of an appointment or a requested prayer, Dan was a faithful example of mercy, kindness and humility. His life was full of stories how God was visible in his life and others. I will miss hearing the stories but am so thankful Dan wrote some of them down in a book!
With sorrow and joy, I write in memory of our dear Dan who passed away yesterday after his battle with cancer. He is free of pain. He is free of worry. He is with his Creator forever as promised! Dan had many friends and family that will miss him here. At his 85th birthday party in January, I told him how wonderful the people in his life are and he said, “God is Good”. Prayers for his family are appreciated.
