Amber Nelon Kistler posted the following regarding her father: “At 12:35pm today my daddy entered the arms of Jesus. To say we are shocked would be an understatement. Although our hearts are completely broken, we know God has a plan and we know that even though this doesn’t make sense we trust Him. My daddy is no longer sick and he is completely healed and reunited with his parents and sister. Thank you all for your prayers. We’ll announce arrangements as soon as they are made. We truly love all of you! Please continue to pray as we try and heal from this huge hit.”
