O
pletely, but the H um phrey fam ­
ily found the strength to learn
from tragedy; they turned to
God.
In T r e a s u r e in H e a v e n
(av ailab le from IS tB ook L i­
b rary ), M atthew H um phrey
shares an autobiographical a c ­
count o f a young couple who
turns to god for answ ers and
finds the grace and courage to
say goodbye to their child. This
tragedy proves to be a pivotal
p oint for this couple, and in
turn a blessin g from G od in
disguise.
“ His life w as sh ort, but not
u n e v e n tfu l,” w rites reverend
D avid W einert. “ He helped to
increase the faith o f all o f us.
He m in istered in a w ay that
won the heart o f each one
who o b served him . N o little
child has ever com e from the
F ather, no m atter how b rie f
the stay, who failed to m ake
glad the hearts left behind with
som e tra c e o f h e a v e n . He
leaves us all w ith a te a r in our
eye, but e sp ecially g ran d p a r­
ents, fam ily m em bers and p a r­
ents. Em ily w ill one day u n ­
derstand the loss o f a little
brother she n ev er got to know,
but they w ill be able to spend
eternity to g e th e r.”
M atth ew H u m p h re y w as
born and raised in O regon,
w here he w rites m usic and
sings for his church. He and
his wife, Cindy, have fourchil-
