I am a volunteer at the Wilkes-Barre nursing home where Beth (I just learned her given name tonight) worked. One day a resident who had just lost her husband was crying while sitting in the hallway. I was trying to comfort her by talking about how her husband was with Jesus in Glory (this woman's husband was most definitely with Jesus!) Beth came along with her arms full of crafts that she was bringing to the day room. She saw the woman's tears, put her crafts aside on the floor and gave the woman a huge hug. A light came on for me: the woman didn't need words; she needed a HUG. Beth KNEW that. What a lady! It is said that God works through human agency. I won't bore you with the convoluted course of events that led me to that nursing home, but I have been blessed by witnessing Beth's kindness. I only hope that I can be a light for another person in the future. I am grateful for this 21st Century ability to tell this story to Beth's family. I am sincerely sorry for your loss on earth, but she is Heaven's gain. Jesus extended his hand and Beth took it with gusto. Amen.

I pray that God keep this family in perfect peace knowing that Bathsheba was saved so we will see her again. No man knows the day nor the hour just be ready, because when you know your love one was saved it makes things feel better because you will miss the flesh but the soul is saved. Our families are forever connected, God bless and remember the comforter has been sent. Love everyone of you much
