We are sad to inform you that Margarita, the one year old daughter of Ravil and Julia Kunakayev, went to be with the Lord two weeks ago.  Julia is expecting their second child in 6 weeks, and while she was in Sverdlosk being treated for her RH conflict with their new baby, Nathan, Margarite fainted at home with Ravil, and doctors discovered that her kidneys had failed.

They were flown to St. Pete for improved care, but Magarita passed away afew days after she and Ravil arrived here.

The funeral was held last Wednesday graveside and we believe the Lord did comfort the mourners with John 14, "that where I am you may be also."  Christ loved Margarita so much he wanted her to be with Him sooner rather than later.

Ravil is an ordained minister and missionary from our church in St. Petersburg, and his church is a candidate church of the CREC, sponsored by Eric Sauder's church of Springfield, MO.

Ravil and Julia met and married at our church and he is a graduate of our Biblical Theological Seminary.

I suggest for those that would like participate in consoling the couple that cards for Ravil and Juilia be sent the the SRS headquarters at PO Box 794, Louisville, MS 39339.
