Dear Sherry,
Thank you for your prayers and kind words. There is a bit of sunshine in the sky. Just finished teaching. Will take Benny Good Dog for a walk in the woods before the Stardust big band rehearsal tonight. Will try to remember the good times and not stress over the current lonliness, trusting that God has a plan and that His will is to bring us joy, not pain.

Hello Craig, No wonder you are in my thoughts and prayers more than ever! And on this special day, It is your day to celebrate the beautiful life you and Molly shared. We all lift you in spirits, and the gifts of God are abundant. Prayers for your continued healing.

Dear Don,
Thank you so much for your beautiful note. Today is our 15th anniversary, so hearing from you on this day is a gift from God.
As worship leader of our little church, it has been a great pleasure to introduce these folks to the wonderful Vineyard tunes which you taught me over the years, many of which are still printed on your letterhead. These are the amazing compositions from the early 90′s, not the commercial stuff that’s coming out now. i have attempted to forge a completely integrated set – avoiding the “us & them” generational gap which crops up in some churches. In each of our 5-song sets, we aim to move seamlessly between the elequant Episcopal hymns (like “Holy, Holy, Holy”), the cornball Pentacostal hymns (like “In the Sweet Bye & Bye”), what i call the “Don Nagy tunes”, a few carefully selected current hits (like “How Great the Father’s Love for Us”), and about 25 of my originals. Altogether, i guess we have about 150 tunes. Did Paul give you a copy of “Renewed Hope”? i would be so eager to get your feedback on this material, since you were the early influence which shaped my worship aesthetic. So glad to hear you continue to persevere with your fellowship, as you are a blessing to all who worship beside you.
love,
cb

Hey, Craig! I have to confess that I’m the former Vineyard musician that told Al Teoh the news about Molly. He and May are now part of our home fellowship so we see a lot of each other. I was extremely saddened when Shannon told me of your loss. I’m so sorry. My niece passed away the day after Thanksgiving and my mom just passed away in January, so I have some sense of the pain you feel. I have been praying for you, my friend. Molly was a ton of fun and you have always been a delight. I pray that the Lord continues to wrap you in his Arms of Love. With much love in Christ, Don

Thank you for your loving words, Al. As you know, Molly was especially fond of you. She would want me to remind you how much you mean to both of us.
love, cb

Craig, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Molly. It has come as a shock to me when I learned of the fact from a former Seattle Vineyard musician.

I pray the Lord’s strength will be your portion as you heal from the great loss.

Your friend,
Al

Oh Craig,
We just learned of your loss, and I am soo, soo sorry to hear the news! Molly was an AWESOME! woman – and you could see it every time she worked with the kids in Sunday school – I had that pleasure a few times with her, and I am soo sorry to hear of this. I had written to let you know I had mentioned you in an article I wrote recently, but that seems so unimportant now. I hope and pray that God be with you in this time in your life! Again I am so sorry to hear the news!

P.S. If you need to get away – we are here for you! Just give me a call or show up!
