David Sauder

Last night we got word that David Sauder, Rachel's father-in-law was taken to the hospital not breathing. It didn't sound or look good and early this morning Rachel posted this:
CT scan shows nothing abnormal in his brain. Still on a ventilator, moved to ICU. Waiting to find out exactly what is wrong. Thankful for all the prayers and support.
Then a bit later: The Doctor said it looks like a heart attack & there is not much they can do. They are supporting him as much as they can and said they will see how he is in 24 hours. Surgery is not an option.
Her last post: He has finished his race. So thankful for Jesus, the Author and Finisher of his faith.

Our hearts go out to his wife Rita, his children David, Serena and Lena and his grand children. They were surely miss him.

David S. Sauder, age 75, of Brimfield, passed away Wednesday Jan. 27, 2016 at 12:51 a.m. at the Unity Point Methodist Medical Center in Peoria.

Life just seems to be so short. When I was a child 75 seemed like a great old age but the older I get the younger it seems. Diane is in charge of funeral dinner and she is needing help with cooking and providing some food. If you are able to help please give her a call. She drove to church tonight with a full van load taking Sarah, Hannah, mom, Ruth, Mark and I. David Obgerfel had the service.
