Condolences to the Family

March 27, 2016

From my junior high years until now, your mom has always held a special place in my heart. She loved me unconditionally and always seemed to care about me even when I brought much heartache to the family many years ago. I just found out today about her passing which brought on much sadness but then overall happiness that she continues on with our Lord above.

Dear family members of Sigrid Sproul,

Please accept our deepest sympathy at the home going of you loving mother and grandmother. May the Lord Jesus provide comfort and encouragement to you in the coming days and weeks.

2 Timothy 4:7-8 "7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing."

Pastor and Mrs. Robert Kilgore

Dear Karen, Curt, Chuck, and Craig,
Please accept our deep sympathy and sorrow for the loss of your dear mother.  We count our friendship with Sigrid as a blessing from God.  We so enjoyed her company during Sunday dinners and holiday celebrations with our mutual friends Dave and Kay Lee, Dee Beck and others.  We will miss her very much and look forward to seeing her again.  We know how much Sigrid loved you all.  May God comfort you with many blessed memories of your beloved mother.
Jesus said “I go to prepare a place for you”.  Now she sees what we can only imagine.

Love,
David and Nancy Wenstrand

Dear Karen,Chuck,Craig,and Curt,

Thinking of you with deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother.

Your mother and I shared many wonderful experiences together. We really enjoyed our fun cruise to the inside passage to Alaska. Also, it was great sharing many dinners and picnics with her and our friends, Kay and David Lee, Nancy and David Wenstrand,and others. Sigrid always made very tasty desserts! I also remember the New Year’s weekend we spent together at Sigrid’s townhouse- playing scrabble, sight-seeing, and of course- eating!

May God comfort and give you strength you need from day to day.

With love,
Dee Beck

With uncommon strength, ability, and persistence, she raised four children that have grown into adults to be proud of. She was the loving nucleus that tied together the extended family. Their gathering from afar in her final illness is proof that love was reciprocated. The grandchildren had the blessed opportunity to know her intimately. From there all the good she gave us can pass on to subsequent generations. She will be sorely missed, but she lives on in our memory.  Absent from the body, at home with the Lord
