Our sister in Christ, Gayle Dubowski, was shot and killed at Northern Illinois University this past Thursday. Stephen Kazmierczak opened fire on a classroom full of students, killing 5, then killing himself. Gayle is remembered as a joyful young woman devoted to God, her family and the church. (See more about her on facebook: type "Gayle Dubowski MEMORIAL - NIU Tragedy")
A disciple at Northern remembers Gayle, saying "I remember how happy she was at her Bible Talk about organizing the "Brothers Encouragement Night". She was so happy to serve the brothers...she was so eager. It was definitely refreshing to be around her." The Central Region campus sisters have been preparing a 'brothers encouragement' night for the last couple of weeks. Tonight, they dedicate their Valentine's encouragement to Gayle.
Also remembered of Gayle was her incredible soprano singing voice. However beautiful it was, we believe her earthly voice will pale in comparison to the voice she will sing with in heaven!
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God." 2 Corinthians 1: 3-4

Thank you Gayle for your example you leave, even in death!!!
I heard of your amazing heart, love, convicting spirit, and voice. Now you must be singing more amazing songs where you are.
"Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death... we tell you that we who are still allive... will certainly not precede those who have fallesn asleep..."
1 Theassalonians 4:13-18
Sleep well Gayle.
