Michael Randall Holt
Penelope Weith
Former Illinois Valley resi-
dent Michael Randall Holt,
cherished and loving father,
grandfather and friend passed
away on January 21, 2011 at
his home in Azusa, Calif. He
was born on July 24, 1949 in
Bakersfield, Calif.
He was loved dearly and
will be greatly missed by all

know him.

Diane Holt of Azusa, Calif.;
two sons, Steven Kepley of
American Canyon, Calif., and
John Stanley of Sayer, Penn.;
three daughters, Erica Clark
of Cave Junction, Ore., So-
nia Cruz of Azusa, Calif., and
Laura Massey of Walls, MS.;
14 grandchildren, and many
friends.
He was preceded in death
by a grandson, Andrew Clark
of Cave Junction.

held at Remington Hot Springs

Longtime Illinois Valley
resident Penelope Weith, 63,
passed away on Wednesday,
April 6 at Highland House
Nursing and Rehabilitation in
Grants Pass, Ore. She was born
August 9, 1947 in Illinois.
She was a waitress prior to
illness.
She is survived by her
companion, Marvin Haynie of
Cave Junction.
Private Cremation has been
held at Chapel of the Valley -
LB Hall Funeral Home, Grants
Pass.
Whether people see
them that way or not, the
Holy Bible relates a num-
ber of miracle stories.
Readings assigned to a
recent Sunday morning re-
lated both the raising of a
man named Lazarus from
his grave, and a vision of
the prophet Ezekiel that
looked like an old war
zone: a valley full of dry,
lifeless bones. Through
either situation Almighty
God pulls off the extraor-
dinary.
The prophet’s vision
points to the time when
the people of Israel will
be freed from their time
of exile in Babylon to get
back home and rebuild
their country, cities, and
Temple-worship-center.
The resurrection of Jesus’
close friend Lazarus points
to the time when all believ-
ers in Christ will not only
be raised up to life again,
but will discover that the
Lord has taken them into
heaven itself.
Plus, Lazarus’ resurrec-
tion also hints at the real
meaning of Easter. For,
though Jesus would die
by crucifixion at a place
named Calvary, he would
be raised up again three
days later; confirming the
spiritual fact that his death
happened in order to for-
give the sinfulness of all
humankind who believe in
him. Truly, the Bible re-
lates miracle stories.

John 4:13 – 14
Jesus answered, “ Ev-
eryone who drinks this
water shall thirst again but
whoever drinks the water I
give him will never thirst.
Indeed, the water I give
him will become in him a
spring of water welling up
to eternal life. “

the woman at the well.

The Turners are 2004 graduates of Jackson Col-
lege of Ministries. They have assisted at both First
United Pentecostal Church, Richland, Mississippi
and the Pentecostal Tabernecle, Hattiesburg, Mis-
sissippi. In August 2005 their dream of becoming
missionaries came to pass when they accepted an
AIM assignment in Turkey where they served faith-
Shawn & Tammy Turner
& Ayanna
fully for five years. In September 2009, Shawn and
Tammy became fully appointed intermediate missionaries to Turkey. They
are now in the process of learning the Turkish and Arabic languages. Once
they have completed deputation, they will move to the city of Antioch, Tur-
key where we were first called Christians.
