A note from Kaye and Gary Piper Dear St. John's family and friends, Gary and I have been thinking of moving to Fort Collins in the next year. With Gary’s loss of vision and not being able to drive, Kaye's health conditions related to altitude, and other factors, we made the hard choice to move in the next year. To start the process, we contacted our real estate agent and told her we wanted to put the house on the market in late August. She asked if she could show it to her clients looking for a house in Sunset Ridge when we were in Norway. We said yes, and she sold it with a closing date of 16 Aug. We did not intend to sell this soon, but we could not pass up this deal. Our desire was to stay here for another 4 or 5 years. As we all know our plans do not match God's plans for us many times. This is one of those difficult times. A time comes when we need to go through a hard process of accepting reality and listen for Gods’ voice to speak and trust he knows what is best for us. Our daughter and grandkids live in Fort Collins, making it a perfect choice for us. However, we have yet to start our house search there; things are moving faster than we can keep up with. We are very sad to leave here but happy to move to Ft. Collins and be close to our kids and grandkids. They are excited to have us there also. Ft. Collins has much to offer. There are many bike trails that go very far and are located close to stores. I understand there are also many retirees to make new friends with. CSU has classes and lectures free for seniors. I’m looking forward to that too. Since we have belonged to St. John’s we have seen many people come and go. Thankyou for all the support in all we have done. Your patience in our endeavors has been fabulous. Your encouragement in my work as a deacon has helped me a great deal. Once we are settled in our new home (We will begin looking soon) I’ll explore work as a deacon. We have been to Episcopal churches there and I’m sure we’ll land in a good one. God’s blessings on you all. Gary and I will miss you all so much. If you are in our new area please look us up. Love, Kaye and Gary |
