Elijah Appel - In Loving Memory
God allowed us the privilege of little Elijah’s brief stay here on earth. It was only a moment, so short, yet what an impact his tiny life has had on our church and our lives. We grieve because of his abscence, yet we know that his current experience is so much better. No more feeding tubes, no more respirators, no more struggling to breathe and cling to fragile human life. We look forward in anticipation to that glad reunion day, when God will wipe all tears from our eyes.
Elijah Appel’s funeral will be held at 10:00am, Wednesday February 21st 2007, at the Peace Lutheran Church in Silvana, WA. Here are directions from the I-5:
1. Take exit 208 (Silvana/Arlington)
2. Turn West towards Silvana on the Pioneer Hwy.
3. Drive through Silvana.
4. At the far end of Silvana, take a left at Larson Rd.
5. The church building can be seen immediately on the right.

I’m grieved about your churches’ loss. I pray that this little life with shine, and draw your church family closer together.
This story is fascinating, because I know of another miracle baby, on the east coast, who almost teetered over the edge and plunged in death. Funny, his name was Elijah to.
I wish you and yours the best.
