THE INSID

On September 24, 2000, Dr. David carolflem ing

Richter's grandson, Elijah Oscar Rich­

ter, at two years and eight months of

age died in an accident. This was the

first grandson and since he was the first,

he was given the tradition middle name

that had been handed down to the old­

est son for five generations-since the

first Richter immigrated to America.

Dr. Richter said, "In the days follow­

ing Elijah's death, many verses from

scripture gave comfort and strength to

the family. Of course, the book of Job

provide special comfort." In the two

years that have followed this horren­

dous experience, Dr. Richter has been

blessed by God's faithful restoration.

While no other child (nor number of

children) can ever replace another, he

cannot help but be grateful that God

has, since Elijah's death, blessed the

Richter family with two more grandsons

and the second granddaughter in Janu­

ary, 2003.
