Episcopal Salutations and Love to the Family of the late Amy D. VanDerVeer…
We greet the Acors, Wilson and VanDerVeer Families in the name of him, who does orders our footsteps and he truly meets us with his love, peace and compassion. Sadly, today, we The St. Stephens Baptist Church Family of King George, VA extend our deepest sympathies to The Families of the late Amy D. VanDerVeer.
This communication comes as a formal acknowledgement of our sadness to hear of the sudden loss of Amy VanDerVeer. She was a daughter, sister, loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend to all that knew her well. Therefore, The St. Stephens Baptist Church Family of King George, Virginia can say that she will truly be missed by her family and friends.
For me personally, the Acors Family is such a kind and loving family in our church that I had to write this letter of spiritual support for my Sister Diana Acors. Through the years, I have found that love, encouragement and a kind word can be a pillow of care in times like these. So today in spiritual tears, we must celebrate the end of earthly service but a beginning of eternal worship and praise with our Lord Jesus Christ.
Even after almost 31 years of ministry, I have found out that “Losing a loved one … especially a sister and mother is very difficult”. I heard a poem that was written that said … ““If roses grow in heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for me, Place them in my Mother’s arms and tell Amy they’re from me”.
Please Acors, Wilson and VanDerVeer Families, administer the liberty to contact me if there is anything our church family can do for you to advance the Kingdom of God. We know that we share an earnest relationship to the matters of the Kingdom of God. And we pray that God’s Love, Peace and Compassion keep your families in this truly sad yet celebrating hour. You are truly in our thoughts and our prayers in this sad hour. Wrote with the Love Pin of Jesus Christ …
