dee,
even though i'd never had the pleasure of meeting your Mother ....
i've had the pleasure of knowing you
and based on that alone, i can say
She must have been remarkable !
GOD will continue to watch over you
and your family, even though the
"Back Bone" is gone --- close your
eyes dee, and meditate on His Goodness, Grace & Mercy; then imagine what it's like to meet Him; in
a perfect world with a perfect body; feel His embrace? now open your eyes; and look to the hills whence cometh your help, cause He will never leave you nor forsake you, and
yes my friend weeping will endure but
remember to be absent from the body is
to be present with the LORD !
I pray your memories will give you strength to celebrate Her Life as She continue to live in you.
