Word of Thanks

To the people and churches of IGRAC:

We wish to thank the many people and churches who have written, e-mailed, and called us since our granddaughter Ryanne Mace’s death in the Valentine’s Day shootings at Northern Illinois University. Your thoughtfulness and prayers have been a powerful support for the Mace and Palmer families.

Ryanne's death was caused by a senseless act, but we are looking in faith and hope for appropriate ways to continue her influence for a better world. We pray that in that way, God will help us make some meaning out of a truly absurd tragedy. Meanwhile, because of prayers and expressions of concern from folks like you, we are experiencing in our sorrow the promised peace that passes all understanding. We are truly blessed to be part of the United Methodist family.
