General Superintendent Son Dies

[Oliver Phillips]

David Diehl, son of General Superintendent James Diehl died today in Colorado. He suffered many years with chronic ailment.

I heard last evening that Dr. Diehl had left the Canada Atlantic DA early . They had had the ordination service in the afternoon so he could leave immediately afterwards as David had re-entered hospital. He sure fought a long time against that cancer . Glad God healed him but he will be missed . Thank you for posting the info . Have already put it out on our prayer line .

The funeral service will be held at DFC later this week. I will be attending.

My prayers with the Diehl's family. Please be in prayer for Lori, the girls, Dr. & Mrs. Diehl and the entire family.

If you get a chance, would you convey our deep sympathies to Jim and Dorothy and the rest of the family. We won't be able to be with them physically, but we will be in spirit. Mitzi and I have had a long and close friendship with them since their days as pastor at DFC. It has been a long, difficult journey for all of them...perhaps now God's healing for them all may begin. Thanks.

Chuck
