From Joey and Deanna Snead

Dylan,

I too, like others, did not have the privilege of knowing your mom all too long, since we have only been attending Integrity church for a few months permanently, but I have to concur with what others have said about your mom representing Jesus, our Lord and Saviour, as well as one can this side of Glory. Back in November of 2010, on a visit to Integrity, with my daughter, something awesome happened. After service, your mom followed us out to our car, and really reached out to me in a way that is all too uncommon in most churches today. Your mom, with you beside her, asked several questions about myself, my daughter, my family and took the extra five minutes that makes a visitor, to unfamiliar surroundings, feel at home. It was a very important gesture to me, as I found her spirit overwhelmingly one of love and joy. A few weeks later, as we were telling a few friends of God's decision for us to make Integrity our home church, one of my wife's friends proclaimed that we had to get to know "Tonya Watt, because she is awesome", and that you "would know her by her smile and sweet spirit". It wasn't until a few weeks later, that I made the connection on who Tonya was. My wife met her within one week, and a friendship, like many of the others who are writing to you, was established with my wife, Deanna, as well. You see Dylan, your mom's testimony of her love for Jesus was not confined to just Integrity church. She touched a lot of lives, and it appears that she has shaped yours as well. We will be praying, that when times get tough for you Dylan, that you will call on Jesus, and he will provide the comfort that you need, and that only He can provide. Dylan, remember above all else that God loves you.
