Mark, thinking of you and praying for comfort and peace for you and your family.
I remember spending many weekends in my youth with Bob and Janice at the lake during he summer. We had four families from Skelly Drive Baptist that would go to the lake and enjoy boating and camping. The churches were such a fantastic couple.
I had the honor of helping Janice for the last four and a half years. I fell in love with her right away. She was the most grateful person I ever met. She loved her family so much. I know she heard “well done thou good and faithful servant “. This is not goodbye but I will see you again one day.
My grandma Church. I remember her as a teacher, helping her set up her classroom at the end of Summer. So detailed and meticulous in her planning. I remember her as a cook, the best beef stroganoff and Italian cream cake EVER. Certainly she cared about family, but it was everyone she crossed paths with, she always led with kindness. I remember her always being kind and attentive to others, their needs always came first. I remember shopping with her and the fun we’d have on our annual before school shopping spree. I remember her cutting my hair from the beginning all the way through high school. The patience to cut the hair of three young, squirming boys was amazing. I remember her songs, singing and playing the piano. Her voice was always so soothing. Grandma Church was never afraid to get dirty! Be it in her backyard garden at home or at the farm in Stillwater, she jumped in and helped and loved every minute. Her love was unconditional, even when we disappointed her, she led with love. When her mind failed her, she never forgot who I was...not once. She has her wits back now, gathering with those who went before her. Guarantee she is loving them just as she did on this earth. She is free now. Rest In peace and paradise my beautiful Grandma Church. I love you.
Remembering all the sweet, active years we shared as friends; dinners with church friends, boating, motorcycling, motor homing. I miss you, precious friend. Enjoy your new choir and those streets of gold.💘
Grandma Church was kind, gentle, humble and one of the best people I have ever known.
She did love her kids and grandkids so much and they will all miss her dearly.
Everyone will miss her wonderful cooking, generosity and hospitality.
May she rest in peace.
