Calling all Ohio State Buckeye Fans ~ A Chance to Support SGM and Remember Michael "Peanut" Vollmer

                         

Last summer, a precious baby boy named Michael Clifford "Peanut" Vollmer was born to Nancy and Dan. He lived for three days, but his life has touched hundreds of others. This beautiful family was so grateful to receive a Dreams of You Memory Basket from SGM at Zachrich Funeral Home (a local funeral home that SGM frequently works with) they did something that blessed us beyond words. They listed Sufficient Grace as a place for friends and family to donate in memory of Michael. And, about $900 was donated by their friends and family. More than thirty families (and counting) have received Dreams of You products in Michael's name. One mother recently read a posting on our facebook page about the Vollmers and recognized Michael's name from the card on the package she received from Sufficient Grace when her daughter Beatrix went home to heaven...the card she has used as a bookmark in her bible ever since.

Many of us who have said goodbye to our babies long to know that they are remembered...that their names would be known. They were here. They lived on this earth, and they live on in heaven. Micheal Clifford "Peanut" Vollmer's name is known....by those that loved him and his family so dearly, and by those who find comfort in the memory baskets with cards that bear his name.

Their memorial donations have helped us offer comfort and hope to many grieving families. But, these amazing people didn't stop there. I recently had the privilege of meeting and hugging Dan and Nancy, the family that touched my heart and the hearts of so many others. A family that truly knows and demonstrates the meaning of reaching out to comfort others with the comfort they have received. (2 Corinth. 1:3,4)

Now...they are doing even more. They have purchased some Ohio State memorabilia, had them autographed by Archie Griffin himself, and have donated the items to be raffled off at the upcoming SGM Golf Outing. (You do not need to be present to win! We can ship the prize to you if you live in the US.) The proceeds will be split between Sufficient Grace Ministries and the Nathan Michael King SIDS Foundation. You can purchase tickets for the Michael Clifford "Peanut" Raffle online by clicking on the donate button on our Support page. Just list the words Peanut Raffle in the comment field. You can also purchase tickets in person through Tim or Kelly Gerken, Paul Wright, Dan or Nancy Vollmer, and at Floral Art in Napoleon, Ohio. Email us if you have any questions (sufficientgaceministries at gmail dot com). Tickets will be on sale until June 3, 2011. Cost is $5 ea. or 3 for $10. (There is also a third prize of a restaurant gift card.)
