Tammy Kelly, Jonathan Krause’s wife until 2010, died this morning, after battling cancer for several months. Jonathan cared for her throughout the illness and always remained family to her. We think of Tammy's friends and relatives during this time, especially her two children, Glen and Alli-Jayne.

Most of us have been touched by Jonathan’s ministry among us (through ALWS, Longest Lutheran Lunch and LCA Communications). We stand with him and his family now, in this time of great pain, and pray that God will grant them the peace that passes human understanding.
