By Thy Mercy

A message regarding Sam's Great-Grandmother:
Today, April 22, 2010 at approximately 7:30 AM Joyce Hunniford went to be with the Lord Jesus in Heaven. At the time she was surrounded by her loving husband Ted and her three sons and their wives, who cherished the moment to share their appreciation and love for her as she was greeted by her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We are grateful that she has been healed and delivered. We appreciate your prayers and thoughts during the coming days. The Hunniford Family.


Sam was blessed to have spent time with his Great-Grandma Hunniford during our visits to Florida. While we mourn her death, we also rejoice in the knowledge that we worship a risen King. "'Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?' The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Cor. 15:55-57)
In the weary hours of sickness,
In the times of grief and pain,
When we feel our mortal weakness,
When all human help is vain.

In the solemn hour of dying,
In the awful judgment day,
May our souls, on thee relying,
Find thee still our Rock and Stay.

By thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord
By thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord, good Lord.
