Housing- Attention Wyatt Members, and Out of Town People Coming In For the Funeral

There will be a ton of out of town people coming in, and if you have room to house people please contact Kelly Bishop by email and let her know how much room you have. You may also think about preparing food for the guests as well. I prefer that you email her so that she doesn't have to constantly stop to write things down. Please include your address if possible so we can get directions.
She can be contacted at this email address- waddill@hotmail.com
Her phone number is 870-904-5799. You can call or text.

If you are from out of town call or email her and she will match you up with a family.

Service Planning

I have had the privilege of meeting with Clif and Adam on the service preparation and we sat down with Scott to talk about it. He pulled out Jill's quiet time books and notes. There were three seminary guys back there and her effort and study put us all to shame. Jill's devotional life was exceptional. Her faith was serious, not just an afterthought of her day like it is with me more times than I would care to admit.

We talked about the service and his desires. He wants God to be glorified through the service, because that's what Jill would want. We hope that our efforts at planning will be fruitful and many people will hear about the God whom Jill was so in love with. I can't tell you what a privilege it is to be around such an amazing group of people. It is a testimony to Jill that she would have such incredible people surrounding her.
Sorrrowful, yet always rejoicing...

Humorous Stories

Jenni's comment made me think that it would be a good idea to write humorous stories about Jill and post them here.

Fellowship

We are all here at Scott's house hanging out with him. He is in good spirits and is holding his son. They have made all the arrangements for the funeral and burial. Jill will be buried close to Lauren Hymer at Rest Haven.

The Grace of God Manifest in Donny

For those who may not be aware, our music minister lost his daughter in a car accident a few years ago. I have been amazed at how God has sustained him to be able to give support to Scott during this difficult time. I appreciate Donny so much and am honored to be with him at Wyatt.

The Refuge of Humor

I want to encourage you all to find some moments of sanity in humor. That's what Jill would want us to be doing.

Please Put Your Whole Name at the End of Comments

There are so many comments and names I'm afraid Scott may not know which Susie wrote what. I should have said this much earlier, but please do that from now on.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Jill's Bible

Clif Johnson is going through Jill's Bible right now and it is really amazing. It took him a long time to find a page without any writing on it. This will be a great resource for Scott in the coming days and years. As Clif said it will be an opportunity for Jill to preach to Scott.

Clif and I are at Scott's house waiting for him to come back from the funeral home.

Letters To Bryce: From Lindsey Watson

We know that Bryce will grow up with very loving families that will make sure he knows who is mother was and what kind of foot print she left on this earth. However, we wanted Jill's friends to also be able to share their memories of Jill with Bryce, so he can get a good idea of what she meant to everyone - family, friends, co-workers, etc....

We have set up an e-mail address for people to send letters to. After the deadline we will compile these letters into a book for Bryce to have. So, here are the instructions:

Please write a letter TO BRYCE telling about what Jill meant to you and how she influenced your life. Yes, Scott will probably read these to him when he is little, but we want him to have this book forever. Please be detailed and share any fun memories of her that are SPECIFIC to your relationship with her. E-mail them to letterstobryce@gmail.com. If you would like to include any pictures you might have of Jill, please do that as well. You can also include any newspaper articles or other scrapbook type items. If you need to mail anything, you can mail it to Lindsey Watson, 2404 Broadview Ave, Conway, AR 72034. Please note "letters to bryce" on the outside of the envelope. PLEASE DO THIS BY JANUARY 1ST, 2009. Cari Calhoun and I will compile all of these letters and pictures into a book.

Please note - Scripture and poetry are great and we want that, but please include a letter of at least one thing about Jill and/or your relationship to her. Thank you so very much!
Lindsey Watson
