Monte’s daughter Ruth, son Robert and two friends Racquel and Kate were traveling from Waco to Franklin on a Friday night to see Isaac Michael play his district championship football game. They never arrived. An accident occurred and Ruth’s Baylor classmate Kate Bronstein was injured critically. Later, on 11-14-07, Kate went home to Jesus. This is yet another of those times we have to hold onto or rather be held on to by the Lord. Please pray for the Bronstein family during this season of grief and loss. Please keep Ruthy in your prayers.
Update 11/19/07:
Kate Bronstein memorial service at First Baptist Church, Spring, Tx. A memorial scholarship fund had been established at Baylor University in Kate’s name.
Joel New, Monte and Sandra Michael fly-in to Reklaw, Tx, near Palestine, to attend the greatest grass strip fly-in in Texas! Camping out in the East Texas Piney Woods, we set up our WFC informational booth and hand out WFC brocheres and information. Answering questions and watching airplanes is a real weekend treat!
WFC operational director Michael Majors had a traumatic loss this weekend as his Dad Wayne was fatally injured in an accident at his Tyler, Tx home. Our prayers and thoughts are with the Majors family during this season of loss and sorrow. We love you folks so much. WFC dispatches Monte to Tyler to visit the Majors family and on Monday the 29th Joel New and Monte fly Mercy Bird in to Tyler to attend the memorial service. Retired from Zales Jewelry corporate executive staff, Mr. Majors was a loving and caring husband, dad, grandfather and friend to many in his church and community. The legacy of faith, fidelity, and Christian compassion is in much evidence in the Majors family.
Please keep this family in your prayers.
