She's met my precious PaPa who went to be with Jesus 13 years ago... She's been reunited to her husband who died 36 years ago... She has a new body with no back pain, no cancer, and as she told Cody won't have to go to the bathroom anymore! :) She is standing in the presence of glory. And she is experiencing joys we can only imagine... Good for her. :)
Romans 8:13 encourages us, "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed in us." "We grieve, but not as those without hope," 1 Thessalonians 4:13.
Her funeral services will be Thursday, December 2 at 10:00 a.m. at Southside Baptist Church (Joe will be officiating) if you want to celebrate her life with us or in your prayers. Thanks for loving her and for loving us. She's left quite a legacy of love to continue after her. I am glad I am a part of it... :)
She touched my life as well. May the Lord give you all an abundance of grace, peace, and strength during this time. Thanks be to God for the glorious hope and assurance of heaven through Jesus Christ!

Though we may grieve for a time on earth, and miss her for many years to come. Think of her joy at opening her eyes and seeing Jesus. She doesnt' miss being here, simply awaits your arrival there.

...didn't know Angie well as we had only been associated with Southside a little over a year- and Angie wasn't there often- because of her illness.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed that her children were so devoted to her- that they would take her into their home. That is a GREAT testimony to some of the rest of us who have aging parents. May your happy memories overwhelm the sadness!
