During the brief 3 years that they lived at Pennbrooke Fairways, the Rasmussens quickly came to love the community and the Community Church that worshipped there. Pastor Bill served with his gifts of joyfulness, love and caring ministering in that place and in the greater Leesburg area, the world, and to us as my husband, a retired pastor, Don, died at home five years ago, after a short, unexpected illness in Pennbrooke where "our Pastor Bill" spent time with us ministering in his special way and sharing "shop talk".
The legacy the young man leaves is large. Let us remember his example that encourages all of us to find and pick up that ministry of loving, caring, joy as we seek and find our ways to serve.
Sharing loss and much love,
Ginny Rasmussen
