I want to thank each one of you who played a tremendous part in God
sustaining us by His grace through this time of testing. My mom really
demonstrated a "Dying Grace" and was faithful until the end.
Ecclesiastes 7:1 and 2 say: A good name is better than precious
ointment; and the day of death than the day of one’s birth.
Eccl.
7:2 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the
house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will
lay it to his heart.
One aspect on noting that the day of
one's death is better than the day of one's birth just might be that at
birth we have no idea of how one's life will turn out. But when one
dies most of the world has a real clear understanding what type of
person an individual really is. They have demonstrated it by their
choices in this life.
For the record, my mother was one of, if not, the godliest person I have ever been friends with, met or read about. For those who knew her, they would probably agree. But yet, she would say that she was a wicked sinner whose only positive qualities was Christ's righteousness! And that is true, but she also had "practical" righteousness that clearly accompanied her "positional" righteousness!
Thanks again for those out there who cared for our family and prayed for us!
mom loved her grandkids!
Our last Thanksgiving
Nov. 2007
Mom is so pretty even as she was undergoing treatment
She lost her hair doing an alternative chemo treatment, but it didn't get her down at all
This was taken sometime in 2008-She looks so pretty here.
I think this was taken around Easter-2008
The grandkids loved my parents and they loved them!
We will be finalizing funeral arrangements this afternoon. We will
probably have a service on Monday evening in Springfield. Then her
body will be transported to Lexington, KY where we will have another
funeral and the burial.
