Sadness, Loss, and Comfort

We are a close knit family here on Wolfhill and we are going through a time of sorrow. Our son-in-law, Wade, husband of Misty and father of Caleb and Tyler passed away on Friday, April second. Wade had endured a lot of pain and several surgeries over the past decade. Within the last month he had battled recurring infection. On Thursday, April first he had outpatient surgery for a persistant infection in the ear. He went to sleep on Thursday night at home and passed away unexpectedly on Friday morning.

It has been a tragic time for our family. Many of you understand all too well, you have experienced similar losses. The comfort of friends, family, and neighbors has been awe inspiring. The schoolmates and faculty where Caleb and Tyler attend have been wonderful. They gathered around the boys as soon as they heard and stood by them in friendship. They didn't know what to say,(who ever does?) but they were there for them and us.

Old friends and new showed up from everywhere with food, gifts, and help of every kind. Our church, our former church and churches connected in any way to the family came to our aid. I have to stop and wipe away the tears as I try to recount all that has been done for us. In a time that we were overcome with grief, the kindess and ministry of friends, neighbors and church has lifted us up and filled our hearts with gratitude.

We are thankful for the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, who upholds us through the grieving time. We are thankful for the hope we have in Christ, for the promise of resurrection to be united with our Lord and reunited with family members that have died in Christ as Wade did. We are thankful for Wade's life and his love for family.

We will keep on living life to the fullest, loving with all out hearts, knowing that those who love with all their heart risk having it broken at some time. We believe that the reward of love outweighs the risk.
