We just said goodbye, for now, to Jeff's wonderful mother who passed
away at the age of 94. She set an unwavering example for her 4
children, 23 grandchildren and 63 great grandchildren, of integrity,
humility, hard work, compassion, and all that is good and praiseworthy.
But above all, she was a women completely devoted to her faith and her
family. It is appropriate that she left this world at the beginning of
Spring when we think of growth and new life, as she knew beyond
a shadow of a doubt that her death from this life was just a rebirth
into the next stage of life where she would live a glorious eternity
surrounded by her loved ones who have already taken that journey.
Because she knew this, she was prepared and ready, and perfectly at
peace when she knew her time was close at hand. As a family we rejoice
in her life and legacy, in new beginnings, and in the eternal nature of
all things God has created!
