Many of you have followed the story of Amy and her sweet family as they fought against breast cancer. Amy first discovered her lump while she was breastfeeding her baby girl, Charis, who was a very small infant at the time. Yesterday, after a hard fought two years, Amy went to be with Jesus. This dear friend was my first mentor, the person who showed me HOW to love Jesus, talked me through my first real breakup, wrote me letters while I worked at summer camp, knew exactly what to buy me for my honeymoon, and loved me well for the past 12 years. I will forever miss her contagious laughter, sassy spirit, and honest voice.
Many of you have asked what is a good way to help Adam and Charis and show support. Their amazing church has set up a benevolence fund to help with medical and living expenses. Adam has been staying home to care for Amy the past few months, so I know this would be a great way to love them. Click HERE to donate online. For her caring bridge site you can click HERE.
Continue to pray for Amy's strong and courageous husband Adam, little girl Charis and her entire family(of which there are others who are continuing to battle cancer). I'm at peace that today Amy walks and breathes freely with Jesus. Her broken, broken body is healed and I am reminded that this place is not our home. God is good, He knows what He is doing, but today I miss my friend...and I am sad.
Huge smiles at a Halloween Party a few years ago.
