N'omi Orr, 2/13/1938 - 4/19/2006

I am happy to report that my dear wife N'omi, the light of my life, is out of pain. If you know me, you know that I have a strong belief in a literal heaven, and in the literal truth of the Bible. I know N'omi is with the Lord in heaven, and I truly rejoice in that.

But I miss her more than I can possibly express, even though I know I will see her someday in heaven.

We're having a quiet burial on Monday, April 24. Then on Saturday, April 29, we're having a memorial meeting, to give friends an opportunity to share memories and testimonies about N'omi's life. Then we're going over to the home of my son John for a Glory Party, to rejoice in N'omi's graduation. (See http://www.nomiorr.com.)

At this moment, the location of the memorial meeting is uncertain; check http://www.nomiorr.com for updates.

Please don't send flowers. If your heart is prompting you to do something, ask God what it is. Perhaps it's something like getting a special gift for your spouse, or making a donation to your favorite charity. N'omi's life was about helping people hear God.

Congratulations to N'omi and much love to you both, Joel. Although I won't be able to partake in the ceremonies, I will be there in spirit. It was a joy to know N'omi and the world is a better place because she was.

Blessings to you...

Dear Joel,
Courage and peace to you until your reunion with her. And Joy, for I am certain, from what you have said of her, that she desires that you have that in spite of the pain.
May the awareness of God's grace be with you every day.

In His Grip,

Dennis Dose
