God's at work even in our darkest hour...


Dear family and friends,

We need to share with you some urgent news.


My dad (Jamithy's dad Jerry Milks) went to be with the Lord this week. He was killed in a motorcycle accident in the evening hours on Monday, July 23rd.

It has been a huge shock and still hurts in the deepest way. We are depending and trusting God for everything now. My dad was such a pillar and rock to lean on while growing up (even while being married). He was always there for us girls and his sons-in-law. My dad loved and passionately wanted people to come to know Christ and spent most of his time sharing that with his many friends and customers (in his own aggressive way:) ).

My mom (48) and sisters (twin..Kristi(28), Korinne(24) and Elisha(21) and I have been able to spend countless hours together praying, crying, hurting, and asking God to provide the necessary funds needed to give my dad a memorial service and help my mom work through the many bills. We pray for wisdom in dealing with my father's business and financial situation.
We've never experienced loss and pain this deep ...but God has been very faithful and gives us the strength we need to continue on.

We choose to trust God's plan for my dad's life. A life that was in His hands from the day he was conceived. We trust God had finished what he started in my dad's life and took him home not a minute to soon. We rejoice that our dad had an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ and that he is walking with Him today!

Below you can read from the Toledo Blade (Obituary) about my dad's life. We would be encouraged if you could visit our guest book too...
