Little Ashley has left us . . . As all of you know by now our little friend Ashley (Antico) Maynard died this past Wednesday from injuries suffered when she was struck by a car in Vernal, Utah while crossing the street last week. Ashley was 12 years old and the only child of our brother, friend, and fellow church member Bill Antico. Words cannot properly describe the sorrow and compassion we feel for Bill and his family. Bill will need us more than ever when he returns from Salt Lake City. Thank you Church Family for being so aware, so sensitive, so caring, so prayerful, and so patient in one of those times when all we can do is sit, hope, listen, and wait. It is our desire and expectation that God will move and work in this tragedy in the lives of all those who have felt it. May His loving presence surround Bill and his family and guard them and give them endurance and peace as they grieve the loss of their sweet little girl. No, there are no answers, only terrible and painful questions that must lead us further down that path of letting go as we learn simple trust in our Abba Father. It would be insanity to face life and death without confidence in the Almighty God who promises one day to right all wrongs, remedy all injustices, wipe away every tear, eliminate all pain and suffering, and Who will make all things new as He reunites redeemed loved ones in the warm glow of His eternal presence. We love you Bill. We miss you already Ashley. As our hearts break heaven welcomes another angel. We will see you on the other side little one. Doug

. Pray for Henry and Oneita Higgins
as their family helped them move into Grand Villa (assisted living),
room 201 last week. Pray that they will adjust to their new living
situation after living in their home for many, many years. Pray for Rebecca Parks. Her father,
Robert Eli passed away last week - pray for this family as
they are suffering from this loss. Nedra Wilmarth, (sister of Ayrtle Axtell) is in
Family Health West and needs our prayers for comfort. Johnny Terry (friend of Bobby and Sherry Heath
- from Breckenridge) has pancreatic cancer and recently moved from
St. Mary's to Peachtree Assisted Living. Rachel Cornelison (student from Western State)
was injured in a sledding accident and has a fractured vertebrae. Kitt Woods has a severe kidney infection and
needs prayers for recovery. Continue to pray for Ashley Maynard (Bill
Antico's daughter) who suffered a head injury after being hit by a
car. She is in the Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City, is in a
coma, and has a problem with her heart. Please pray for her
complete recovery and for her family and caregivers. Timothy Karcher sustained serious injuries while
proudly serving his country in Iraq. Tim has traumatic bilateral
amputations of both of his legs. He is working with a new
prosthesis and "the thought of being able to walk without pain is an
answer to my prayers". Jessica Boone (head injury) has
come a long way in her rehab and is getting stronger and working
hard to get better. Give thanks for her progress and continue
praying for her and her family. Allen Avery is progressing well and he will be
coming off the vent, as his body is healthy and it was only a matter
of building the strength. He is now able to use a speaking valve on
his trach, continue to pray for his healing, as it has been a slow
process. |
