About 24 hours ago, I found out that a friend of mine from college, Anne Jackson, died suddenly. I don’t have any details concerning what happened, I only know that she will be greatly missed. We were not the closest of friends but we spent a lot of time together, eating in the cafeteria, watching movies in dorm rooms, and chatting on the way to class. Several months ago, I drove her with another friend from Nyack to
My heart is heavy for her family and I ask that you would join me in praying for them in this incredibly difficult time. Anne was the most cheerful, optimistic red-head I knew and her smile radiated Jesus’ love. She shone brightly and it is hard to imagine that she is no longer here. I am reminded yet again today that this place is not our home and I look forward to seeing Anne in our true home someday.
“What is your only comfort in life and in death? That I am not my own, but belong—body and soul, in life and in death—to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ….” Though the loss of Anne leaves a gaping hole for those who loved her, we take comfort in knowing that she belonged to Jesus and is with Jesus. You will see her again. That is our blessed hope. Praying for you and those who loved her.
