“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.” Ps 116:15
If you met her for any length of time during the life of our Anna on this earth, you walked with us. Whether it was 15 minutes or 30+ years, you walked with us. Her sights were always and only ever set forward, heaven bound. As believers we are called toward heaven; to run our race and live wholly for Jesus Christ. Anna was the purest form of the Christian life. She was heaven bound and had no worries in this life that we experience. She had no ties, or commitments, or concerns, or distractions, or sins that would pull her attention away from her true home, heaven. She was in a constant motion “forward”, Heaven Bound, even though she never took a step on this world. We just kept up with her heart.
There has been no pain or agony in her reaching heaven, but there is an utter emptiness. We were here to help her reach her goal. It was a goal that we prepared for our entire lives, and the sweetness of the Holy Spirit to gently walk us with her to the gate and see her through was one of the most precious, surreal, and indescribable moments that we will be eternally grateful for, and never, ever, ever want to forget. Jesus, please burn those last moments forever in our minds and hearts.
“And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the living creatures and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.” Rev 5:11-12
The Lord saved her voice for Himself. He is enjoying her sweet voice joined with all the throng of heaven… and we have no doubt she will have an innumerable amount of solos! We can’t wait to hear…
Anna is survived by her parents Steve and Suzie Zech and sister Mandy Zech of Corvallis, MT. Sister Emily and husband Sam Euker, brother Dylan Zech and wife Lisa, 5 nephews and 2 nieces of Stevensville, MT.
The date of her celebration of life is yet to be determined. The Zech family suggests memorials to: Global Christian Relief, globalchristianrelief.org
