My Mom had a quiet, confident faith. She came to Christ in her late teens. The verse that God used particularly in her conversion was Philippians 1:21, For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Mom led me to Christ 33 years ago. I am thankful for our serious spiritual conversations - in the last few years particularly.
Death is still an enemy. It was a difficult struggle for Mom. Between painful breaths on Monday morning, Mom said a few times, "I want to see Jesus."
She has her wish. Death is done for her and we rejoice that she is now with her Saviour. To say that she is now well is an understatement!
The service will be at Edson Baptist on Sunday, May 23 at 3:00 pm.
A few people have already said to me, "She was a sweet, kind lady." That's true.
We will miss her.

Thank you all for your comments.
It is hard to believe that it was just a week ago that we were calling the family and encouraging them come come and see Mom.
The funeral went well. It was good to be together as a family, but it will take some time to get used to not having Mom at the center.
Dear Pastor Terry & family, We are so very sorry to hear of your Mom's passing but rejoice that she is with Jesus. May you feel His comfort & the prayers of His people as you grieve. You remain in our prayers. Love In Christ, Levern & Gerry Booker
