To the Nash/Burkholder Family....
Our deepest condolences on your recent losses of two true Saints of the Lord, Mother and Son!!
"I thank my God upon every remembrance of you... For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;" What a glorious inheritance in the Lord that my own little growing family has right now, because the example of the Nash family!! Murray, and to all of us very loved "Baby Boomer" Sunday School kids, was a big brother to all, strong tall and gentle like our Shepherd Jesus!! Lots of fun and kind natured gestures & antics in Youth Group and Camp Medeba winter camp weekend. Loved getting to know Ellie when we - "the two Ellie's" worked together weekends at Markhaven.
Murray gave me courage to continue on with my stringed instrument, cello, which I am doing to this day!! Loved his passion for the Lord he expressed though his violin. I will never forget it. Although skills were still being honed, his heart was one of true worship, pure and strong, fervent for the Lord through his violin!! So many treasured memories growing up together in the Lord at Richvale Bible Chapel. Thank you Murray for living out, more in deed than in word, your steadfast abiding faith, the meekness and gentleness of Christ....2Cor.10:1 We stayed the course due to your and your family's example.
Thanks, a sister in the Lord from those many years ago.....
