OUR DEAR FRIEND, KELLY FURTH, WENT TO BE WITH THE LORD ON THANKSGIVING DAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2007
She was such an inspiration to all of us and we wanted to share these photos and special memories with each of you.
Kelly began as a mentor with the MOMS group in May 2006. Although she was battling cancer she gave of herself as mentor to young moms, as well as a childcare coordinator and financial coordinator. Her positive uplifting personality and her love of God's Word is a great testimony to her faithful walk with the Lord.
She worked effortlessly to connect with each mom and to help wherever there was a need. One of our expectant moms needed help getting the baby's room ready and she painted and donated many items to make that happen. She coordinated and hosted many events including a "Wedding Celebration" at her home and a "Pool Party" for the moms and their children. MOMS was a mission that was close to Kelly's heart and we are so blessed and grateful to our Heavenly Father for placing Kelly in our paths, and we rest in the knowledge that she is with Him this very day! We love you Kelly and will always remember your great love and compassion.
Kelly's favorite scripture was "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". Phil. 4:13
Words from Kelly... "I never imagined that I would be touched by so many women in such a short period of time. I do believe that God placed Karen at my table in Bible study for a reason. I was at a low period in my life and needed some support/answers/guidance. Karen was there for me, she had faith in me that I could be a mentor in the MOMS group. It was at this time that God picked me up out of the desert and placed me with such incredible women of faith, and that helped me get to where I am today. I am truly blessed by all the leaders of MOMS group."
