My aunt passed...
 

I am usually on the wrong side of the ocean…this morning I awakened to the news that my mother´s only sister (her baby sister) passed away…I would have loved to have been in the states for mother´s sake and the sake of my sisters.
In 40 plus years on the field there have been numerous deaths in our family…I happened to be in the states when my mother’s mother passed but other than this I have missed all the funerals of aunts and uncles, friends and other kinfolks…
When my father passed several churches helped me come for his funeral or I could not have come.
Really mother passing in Brazil was God´s present to me…as a child of the resurrection she awaits the sounding trumpet to rise up with those she worked so hard to help: the precious Brazilians.
My 2 sisters and uncle will be heading tomorrow or Thursday to Virginia for her funeral. Only my sister, Sherry will be driving so I ask that you all remember them in your prayers.

I talked to my sister Sherry today and she is taking it pretty hard as her husband passed last Oct.

Things like this remind us how short life really is compared to eternity.

Praying for you Sister A., it is never easy to lose a loved one, especially when you are at such a distance.

Praying for y'all Sister Alvear. May God comfort you and your family with His peace.

Bless you Sis,,,will be praying....

Re: My aunt passed...
 

Sis A I know how you feel, due to working I was not able to attend many of my Aunts and Uncles funerals. I have an aunt that is not expected to make it another month, so I certainly understand your feelings.

God is able to bring comfort. :)

Re: My aunt passed...
 

Sister Alvear sorry to hear of your loss.
Praying for you.

Re: My aunt passed...
 

Sorry, Sis! I will be praying for your family.

Re: My aunt passed...
 

Thank you folks...I cried when I heard the news...she was sweet but never had an interest in spiritual things.
I cried because of the feeling of hopeless...I cried when mother passed but it was another feeling.
OH! how we would love to save everybody...but salvation is a personal choice.
Thank you for your prayers and please remember my sisters that will be traveling. Thanks so much.

Praying for your family. This is just a reminder of the tremendous sacrifice you have made in your life on the mission field. I can only imagine the reward.
