To All:

This Tuesday morning, we received a telephone call from Hank Gruver that God had called his Mother home earlier today. Various members of the family were with her these past days, including their daughter from Australia. Although Judith's earthly harp, autoharp and piano have been silenced, we know that she is stringing her heavenly harp and praising God. Thank you God for receiving Judith into your arms. I know that i speak for my wife, Marie, when I write that we will miss Judith after knowing her and Henry for almost fifty years. We will miss her, her laugh, her smile and her worship music. We know that she is "in better hands". And as Ron Wyatt would say, "Bless her heart".

If you have taken the opportunity to watch the video of Henry that I sent you, you will notice his health and ability to speak from his heart. Let us continue to lift him up to the Lord and declare strength and health to his body. Also, pray for comfort be with Henry with the passing of Judith, his love. Just from our conversations with Henry, it has meant so much for Henry to spend so much valuable time with her. He would speak to us of how close they had come to each other in this time of recovery.

The memorial service for Judith Gruver will be held this coming Saturday, August 18. Due to the thought of so many people attending the service, they do not know whether the memorial service will be held in Woodbine or Dunlap, Iowa. If you would like to send a memorial card to the Gruver family, here are two options. I mention two, because of the volume of expected mail forthcoming to the family.

Blessings to all
