Dear Mr. Beiler's family, I am sorry to hear Mr. Beiler passing, he was a good man. He was so helpful when we were buying our house in the Orchards. He was always there if we had any questions. May he Rest In Peace.

My deepest sympathies to my beloved Beiler family - for the loss of your dear John. What a wonderful Christian man, son, father & husband he was! Such a role model for the men of the world! He carried his burdens without any message of sympathy or incompetence - and this lovely picture reflects that - and his likeness to his dad and brother Ben. I smile to think what a nice reunion he and Darlene and his dad are having in heaven. I will be there for you today in Dover with my presence and prayers and hugs.

Dear Shirley,
I just received the news that John has gone to be with the Lord. Please accept my deepest condolences. I join you in grieving his loss; your relationship and family have been a wonderful example of all that’s best in Christian love and commitment, and John has been a shining model of Jesus’ grace poured through a human life.
As a ministry, we salute John’s life of service to the Lord and others. You and he have our deepest admiration and respect. As you know, Chuck Colson founded this ministry on the belief that there is no life beyond God’s transforming love. Through your generosity, you and John have extended the reach of Prison Fellowship, helping us seek out many who are lost and hurting. John also made many trips into prison with Chuck – a journey that has daunted others – so that he could share the Good News with his customary love for the “least of these.” His presence behind bars, proving that limitations are a matter of perspective, was a true encouragement to many men completing their sentences. I now rejoice at the thought of Chuck and John re-united, enjoying the company of each other and of their Savior.
John was a man who lived his Christian faith and was a great witness to many, many people. We will miss him. John had a rare combination of gifts, and he lived his life richly serving God with excellence. No one can ask for more.
As you are lifted up by me and many others, I trust that God will pour out His sustaining grace and mercy upon you and your family.
For His Kingdom,
Jim Liske

Dear Shirley & family,
It's so hard to put into words the feelings I wish to express and condolences I hope to share. Here is a poem of encouragement for you, and I pray God holds you in His grace, strength, peace and love.
So much love and prayers for you all..
*Heart Shaped Lock*
"The Master of our destiny will be the Key to set us free"
My God's the One Who captured me, and ushered me outside defeat
He holds my hand and holds my heart, as I safely choose to embark
Upon a future formed in grace, engraved throughout all time and space
A life eternal waits for me through a manifest destiny...<3
††† Psalm 62:5 ~ Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in Him.
God Bless You & Keep You<3
Love & Prayers,
Jeanette
