Dear Friends and Family,

I wanted you to know how much we have been blessed as of today. Please read the e-mail below that was sent out to announce that the costs associated with Lee’s funeral have been fully covered! I’m even aware of an effort to help raise funds to help make possible the trip to California that we were planning for this year in order for Lee to show Maggie and Jack what the ocean looks like!

Can I just say that my cup—while cracked and gaping—is also overflowing?

I can feel your continued prayers for me and my family.

Bless you!

Rob

Subject: Lee’s funeral expenses – PAID IN FULL

Kathi and I went to Rob Kirkpatrick’s house today to deliver your wonderful financial gifts, and I’m pleased to tell you that Lee’s funeral expenses and other related items are now paid in full (and then some) – only 5 days since Lee’s passing! What a wonderful testimony to how God uses His people in tangible ways to minister to each other.

As checks continue to come in that were mailed later this week, they will be used to help provide that extra layer of cushion that he and the kids will need, and remove an extra layer of stress.

If you were wanting to send in a check to help Rob and his family but have not yet done so, Rob has asked that any more donations be sent directly to ECA to help with the continuing education of his kids. You can include a note or post it to indicate that the money be used for the Kirkpatrick kids education fund.

The address for those donations go to:

Evangelical Christian Academy
4050 Nonchalant Circle S
Colorado Springs, CO 80917
