In Memory of My Good Friend, Corrie

Shannon with Corrie sending me a hello photo...

That's Corrie on the right. I think Corrie's middle name was Joy. When she greeted you it wasn't a demure, "Hello" it was an exclamation of your name with her joy and gladness spilling over at seeing you. It makes me smile just thinking about how she called out, "DeVaty!" in the Ministry Center, across the parking lot, and even on our phone calls.

Corrie would do anything for you ... even if it cost her time and energy, which for Corrie was a very big gift. Her illnesses often left her with little energy ... sometimes difficult to get out of bed in the morning ... but if you had a need and Corrie could help, she would make herself do it ... spending herself for you. What a gift. Corrie was a gift to us and remains a gift. Her life will continue to urge us on to love and good deeds in the Name of Jesus.

She is now dancing with joy around His throne ... probably with her earphones in and on ... and through our tears and sadness at our loss we dance with her, rejoicing that she is now free of pain and struggle and full of the joy she spread while she was with us.

Thank you Corrie for all you gave and will continue to give us. Praise be to God for Corrie Meyer, our friend of Joy and Gladness.
