I first met Rosalie Wigfall at Greg and Denise's wedding. My memory of her back then was fleeting. However, my first indelible memory of her was a family celebration in my brother and sister-in-law's home many years ago. I will never forget seeing her and my own mother coming down the stairs that first morning. For reasons I didn't understand at the time, I felt something move within my heart. Since then, as time advanced forward, we got to know each other better. I saw that she had the sweetest and most gentle spirit of just about everyone I knew. We would always take time to visit with each other, and speak privately with each other whenever we were visiting at the same time. I will never, ever forget the conversations we would have. They were heartfelt conversations and I always, always learned from her. I heard the Lord speaking through her, through her heart. There was knowledge, wisdom, and encouragement coming from and through her. And then we would share our experiences in The Lord, our growth in and through Him, with each other. And then we would praise and thank Him together. She was a great, great blessing that God added to my life and I lift my hands in deep Thanksgiving and great Praises to Him. I will carry her and memories of her in my heart for the rest of my days as I look forward to reuniting with her again, with the rest of our families when I am taken up to where they now reside with Him. In The Mighty, Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Thank you Lord!
In His Love,
Stacey M Dunham
