The cross is light tonight in honor of our daughter, Laura Briggs’ birthday. She was a joy to us from the moment she was born on a cold January day 22 years ago. Throughout her life she has been a light for Christ. One of the things we appreciate the most about Laura is her friendliness to everyone, young and old alike. Laura we love you and are blessed to be your parents.

“The Cross is lit tonight in memory of C. A. “Bill” Nolph, our loving husband and father, who inspired and supported us to follow our dreams, who always had a new project to research, who shared his gift of seeing the photograph with many others, and who held an abiding faith in Christ.

We can hear him say, “The peace of the Lord be with you all.”

I light this cross in honor of my wife Jill Rowley of 26 years on her 63rd birthday as she begins a new life of retirement in Wenatchee. She has been an inspiration to me and many others that she has touched and those she will touch in the future.

I would like to thank Mike Stancil and Frank Tukey and the rest of the folks at Vita Green for their effort in lighting the cross thru the holiday season, Nov 22, 2007 through Jan 1, 2008.

The lit Cross honors the 90th birthdays of our two mothers, Anita Krober and Lorraine Whiteman. They were born November 7, 1917 and February 9, 1918. They are visiting Wenatchee, having come for their grandson’s wedding. Our families have been deeply blessed because of these two remarkable ladies. The choices they’ve made and lives they’ve lived, has graced us with an incredible heritage. Their uncommon legacy stems from their long-ago choice to follow Jesus. We are grateful!

I would like to dedicate the lighting of this Glorious Cross to be in remembrance of a very special lady, my mother, Kathleen Cairy, who we lost 1 year ago today. I know she watches over us now as she always did with the Lord by her side. Mom, know that you are truly loved and missed. I also add my thanks to my wonderful husband, Stephen Sewell and my son, Steven Lindsey who never fail to be by my side.

“Today, in honor of my Grandparents, George and Hazel Brooks, the light of this beautiful cross shines down on the Wenatchee Valley. The place that they raised their children and watched grandchildren, great and great great grandchildren come into this world. Their love and guidance touched each and every one of us in a very special way. We were so blessed to have you in our lives to share with us the wonderful love of our Lord, Jesus Christ. You will never be forgotten, we all love and miss you”.

“I would like to honor our father, Greg Peterson, who passed away Nov 16. He was a man that brought out the best in everyone that he came in contact with. He loved the Wenatchee Valley, and the cross will always remind us that he is looking down over us and protecting us. On behalf of my mother Susan and my brother John, I would like to say we love you and we miss you dearly.”

“In tribute to our father, Tony DeRooy, from his children. He passed away on November 9, 2006. He is undoubtedly watching us from heaven, and the cross will remind us of his faith, and of how much he loved us, and how much we loved him.”
