Rememberances

[Hackett]

I am reminded, hearing of a neighbor's passing, of the day my Mother went home to be with the Lord. It had been a long few weeks of her struggle with a non-responsive pneumonia. We had the priviledge of being with her day an night singing to her and reading scripture to her even tho she was not always concious. She left us at 4:30 in the afternoon. The chaplin stood by us as she slipped away.. he said 'Ahh, she made it home before suppertime.' That was such a sweet incouragaing statement. A little while later I walked outside to get some fresh air and lo and behold the most magnificent sunset I had ever seen was splashed across the central Texas sky. The nursing home was situated on a hill which provided the perfect panorama of that amazing sky. The thought came to me that Mother was enjoying the Son on the other side of that glorious sunset.

2 years ago this week.... she is still enjoying the Son's presence.

I have received several lovely notes from CF folks. Thank you so much for your loving and encouraging words.

One wonderful thing that occured on the night of Mother's Funeral service... my 16 year old grand son called to tell me that he had become a Christian. He had given his life to Christ and vowed to devote his life to Him. What a joyful way to end that day.

God is so good.....

may your mother rest in peace..
