Condolences to the Family

October 04, 2023

Love and prayers to the entire Apprey family. My wife and I send our sincere condolences to you all. We have always loved and appreciated your entire family. We pray that the Lord of Lords and Prince of Peace will sustain you and comfort you during this time. Augustine will surely be missed by all that knew him. I remember meeting him and his family in a class I was teaching at New Life Church. I was nervous about teaching but God used he and his family to affirm that this class was helpful. It wasn’t too long and then started to get together as families! Love this family!!
