It's a somber day for all those who knew and loved Adrianne Twombly. She went home to be with the Lord on Friday, April 20th, but today is the funeral service where friends and family can go to pay their respects.
I met Adrianne in 2007 at my graduation from Oakwood. Such a sweet-heart, gentle, and kind lady. I didn't know her that well, but whenever I saw her (especially during the times with the cancer) she always had a smile and hug to offer. Her husband, Jason went with my senior class on a mission trip to Ukraine, and I knew their daughters and son from school. I used to be prayer pals with Victoria's 2nd grade class. They are such a sweet family, always involved in the school and church...it's just that their wife and mother was taken from them too soon.
But they cool part....they are completely relying on God and trusting Him in this difficult time. On their facebook pages, especially on Jason's, you can see all the Scripture verses and quotes he's been posting, and on the Victoria and Christina's facebooks, they said that, yeah life sucks right now, but we know this happened for a reason, and we will continue to trust God, and they know that their mother is now completely healed and dancing, singing, and praising her Father.
We'll all be reunited with her in Heaven someday, and that's the plus. The best we can do now is honor her memory and remember the good times we all had with her here on earth.
This was the obituary in one of the local newspapers:
