Coryne Lillestrand

#0029728

In Memory of Wendell Gayle Lillestrand (1937-2025)

In Lieu of flowers, the Lillestrand family would request that memorial contributions be directed to two Ukrainian families serving as Cru missionaries in their home country.  Wendell and Coryne began supporting the Grodz and Pevnev families following the outbreak of the war several years ago. Coryne, whose family has history in the Ukraine, has been especially encouraged by the friendship she has developed with these two families.  In light of these sweet relationships, our family would like to invite you to bless these two Ukrainian families if you are led to make a memorial contribution in honor of Wendell.

Sergey and Galya Pevnev  (Annie, Vasylisa, and Luke)

Roman and Albina Grodz  (Samuel and Daniela)
Memorial contributions made through Coryne and Wendell’s Cru giving website will be equally divided and transferred to the Ukrainian Cru accounts for the Grodz and Pevnev families.
