Dear Family and Friends,
 
Just wanted to send a note to thank everyone for all that you have done for us in that last 2 years.  Prayers, cards, meals, "love gifts" to pay for our living expenses, flowers, donations, and most of all your love for our family during a very difficult time in our lives.  Words will never be able to express our gratitude. God's love and grace has poured down on us during this time and each day seems to get easier.  We miss him dearly and there isn't a minute that goes by that we don't remember him and cherish all the wonderful times we had.  He was an amazing husband, father, "boppa", son, brother, uncle and friend and his life will always be an huge part of ours.  He taught us so many things and gave us all a zest and appreciation for life.  His faith and love for God will be the most important gift he left with us. His presence is all around us and we only hope that we can be the person he was in our lives. 
 
I have a special prayer request for Wendy Nakken (Ben's Sister).  Her and her husband Bryan are leaving tonight in their motor home to go to Dr. Alvarez in Mexico.  He told them that he would do all that he could to help Wendy through this cancer.  They hope to be there on Friday so she can get a treatment that day.  Please pray for: Safety and peace on their trip. That their motor home will make the trip with no complications. Divine wisdom for Dr. Alvarez in treating Wendy's cancer.
God's peace, love and guardian angels surrounding Bryan and Wendy's 9 children during their time in Mexico- which could be 4+ weeks. Peace, strength and grace for the grandparents, Ben and Heidi and friends who will be taking care of the children. And that God's will, power and healing will manifest itself in Wendy's body.   
Thanks for being the prayer warriors you are and we will keep you up to date as we learn more. 
 
All our Love,
Joanie and family
