Today we are celebrating the life of Jan Sickles.
A great Daughter to Miss Jones
A great Sister to Kim Moore and Neal Jones
A great wive to Jason Sickles
A great god mother to me…
I know you all have a relation to her.
She will be missed. While she is in heaven…
we have a void.
Ecclesiastes 3:1–12 ESV
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace. What gain has the worker from his toil? I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live;
I remember growing up and always having Jan and Jason. They accepted the assignment to be my God parents.
-Confusing as I was growing up I thought they were God.
-But I realized what that meant…. They would take care of me if anything were to happen to my family. They have accepted that assignment to the fullest.
Being young I remember my favorite part of Christmas was going to kobes. I knew I would be expecting my second biggest gift of the year. and to this day I remember getting a TV from them.
Growing into adulthood I got to see them at least once a month for the monthly card gathering where we would see an intense game. (it really was personal) Cinnamon rolls. Even though many weeks she was tired, she still slowed down to have conversations with my kids. (Leading to Kyla getting baptized this weekend. The soft conversations lead to the big decisions
-For Jason, we are sorry for your loss, and more than ever scripture tells us we are to rally around those who are hurting.
Romans 12:15 ESV
Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.
Jason, here is my promise to you…
This room is here for you.
We will accept the assignment Jesus has given us and be there for you when times are tough.
Invite Ken Pharr (Dad)
Jason wanted lyrics from song, “Beyond the Sunset” to be read from Ken.
Should you go first and I remain To walk the road alone I'll live in memory's garden dear With happy days we've known In spring I'll wait for roses red When fade with lilac's blue And in early fall when the brown leaves Fall I'll catch a glimpse of you Should you go first and I remain For battles to be fought Each thing you touched along the way Will be a calloused spot I hear you boys I see your Smile though blindly I may grow The mem'ry of your helping hand will Boil me on the thought Beyond the sunset oh blisful morning when With our Saviour heaven is begun Earth stroll is ending oh Glory dawning beyond The sunset when day is done Should you go first and I remain To finish with the scroll No lenghtenin' shadows shall creep in to Make this life seem droll We've known so much of happiness we've Had our cup of joy And mem'ry is one gift of God that death cannot destroy I want you to know each step you Take that I may walk the same For someday down that lonely road you'll Hear me call your name Should you go first and I remain One thing I'll have you do Walk slowly down that long long path For soon I'll follow you In that fair homeland we'll know no Parting beyond the sunset for evermore
