Prayer is requested for the Schnippert family in accordance with this very sad announcement from our dear brother in Christ, Bernie Schnippert who serves as GCI’s legal counsel.
It is with almost unbearable sadness that I inform you of the death of my beloved daughter, Amber Yvonne Schnippert Patrick, due to breast cancer at about 2:24 A.M. Tuesday morning. In accordance with her wishes, no funeral will be held. She is survived by her Mom and Dad; by two sisters, Crystal and Coral; by her husband, Josh; and by her beautiful six-year-old daughter, Megan.
Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes during this time of trial. They have been and remain a source of strength for me.

TO THE FAMILY OF THIS LOVELY LADY, OUR HEARTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT. WE ARE THANKFUL, HOWEVER, THAT OUR GOD HAS A “BETTER” PLAN FOR US THAN THIS PHYSICAL LIFE. HAVING JUST LOST A DEAR ONE IN OUR LIVES, WE KNOW THE PAIN, THE EMPTINESS AND VOID LEFT BY THE PASSING OF A LOVED ONE. WE PRAY FOR GOD TO GIVE YOU THE STRENGTH, LOVE AND ENCOURAGEMENT YOU NEED TO CONTINUE YOUR JOURNEY WITHOUT HER PRESENCE. PRAISE GOD FOR THE TIME WHEN REV 21:4 IS A REALITY AND WE WILL BE WITH OUR LOVED ONES AGAIN, FOREVER. LOVE AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU
