I remember her beautiful smile and her wonderful parenting skills. She loved her family so much and leaves a legacy of kindness and beauty she brought to this earth. She is in heaven with her Ron. God bless! Linda Parker
Dear Julie, Chip, Kevin, and Karyn, I know how strong your faith is, but I just want to share a few Bible verses with you. I’m hoping that these passages might help strengthen you and give you peace through the coming days and weeks . From John 5:24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him Who sent Me, has eternal life…..” And what does that eternal life look like? This is one of my favorite verses from 1 Corinthians 2:9 “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” And I have no doubt that your mom could say with confidence: from 2 Timothy 4:7-8 “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day….” I don’t need to tell you what a wonderful person your mom was, and the faith she shared with you all and hundreds of other kids in her role as S.S. Superintendent. Even though Paul was talking to the Corinthians, his message is for you today, from 1 Corinthians 1:3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. May you feel Easter peace in your hearts. Love, Elaine and Ed
Rest in peace Aunt Betty.
