Find Us Faithful ~ In Memory of Lisa Knode




Lisa M. Knode, 45, beloved wife of Bill for 23 years, went into the presence of her Lord and Savior after a brief illness on Tuesday, July 17, 2007.



She will be remembered for her effervescent personality, her kindness and a willingness to lend a helping hand and a word of encouragement to all.

She devoted her life to sharing the Lord Jesus Christ wherever she was.

"Maybe you are one of those that she shared with and you did not accept Christ. Life is not guaranteed but death is. You are the only one who can determine where you will spend eternity--heaven or hell. Her desire was that none would perish. Will you perish?"

She was a member of our Lord Jesus Christ's family--the love she had for her savior was always evident. Lisa was a member of Lighthouse Baptist Church of Ladysmith, a former member of Tabernacle Baptist Church, Grace Baptist Church, Bowie, Md., Colonial Baptist Church, Virginia Beach, where she served as a ladies and teen Sunday school teacher and was an Awana youth leader.

Lisa also was a faithful Navy wife and was always the devoted mother to her children.

She is survived by her husband, Bill; four sons, Rocky Edwards Knode and his wife, Natasha, of Clovis, N.M., Philip Knode and his fiancee, Tanya Stoughtenger, Samuel Knode and Luke Knode, all of Bowling Green; her mother, Lee Wilkins and her husband, Chuck, of Arizona; two sisters, Laurie Schultz of New York and LeeAnn Gutt of Illinois; three brothers, Ron Luensman of Arizona, Patrick Luensman of California and Vince Luensman of California.

"And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more, in knowledge and in all judgment; That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ." ~ Philippians 1:9-10

Lisa was my sister in blood and Christ. She died having fulfilled the Lord's purpose for her life. She called upon the name of the Lord-believed he died for her sins and became an heir of God, a joint-heir with Christ.Lisa believed in His Word. May God's Word live in your life and not come back void. -We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:1-2.
