We are so thankful to all of you for literally hundreds and hundreds of comments, texts, emails, phone calls, and visits that have been full of encouragement and support. It means so much to see how greatly “Pop” is loved.
Thanks to some God-given favor and the help of our friends Dave Van Rensburg and Greg Evans on the ground in South Africa, Ben has been able to successfully arrange to have Dad’s remains returned to the USA early next week. And we are very thankful to Pastor Dino Rizzo for allowing us to hold Dad’s funeral in the Healing Place Church Arena.
Mom has said several times that she knows Dad wanted this to be a celebration of his homegoing. So that’s what we’re planning - a celebration to be held in honor of Dad, the blessed and full life he lived, and the ongoing legacy he leaves behind.
We invite you to join us on Saturday, October 23, 2010 at:
Healing Place Church
19202 Highland Road
Baton Rouge, Louisiana USA 70809
Visitation 9:00 a.m. - 10:45 a.m.
Memorial Celebration 11:00 a.m.
Dad told us many times that he didn’t want a fancy funeral, because he’d rather “see that money go to helping the ‘Cup kids.” So we have set up a memorial fund to honor this wish of his. Instead of sending flowers, you can make a gift to this fund, either by marking a check “Dave Ohlerking Memorial Fund” or by going to www.childrenscup.org then clicking on “Donate Now” and choosing the fund from the list of designation options.
Thank you again so much for your prayers and overwhelming support for our family during this time. Please continue to stay connected at www.childrenscup.org and http://facebook.com/childrenscup for updates.
Hope’s Name is Jesus.
The Ohlerking Family
