Raven's Mom

Thankyou to all for your prayers and kind thoughts in the unexpected passing of my Mom. I am assured she is safe in the arms of our Heavenly Father. Special thanks to OneAccord for attending our farewell to Mom. You were all well represented by this fine brother of ours. Please remember my Dad who is hurting greatly right now. Mom and Dad were married almost 66 years and there is a terrible empty place that only the love and the presence of God is going to be able to heal.

Raven

Oh.

I'm sorry, Raven! I guess I missed this entirely. (if you posted it before) I'm so sorry for your loss.

Beautiful pictures.

Re: Raven's Mom

Thanks for sharing the pictures, Raven. She was a beautiful person. Another reminder of the brevity of this life. You will meet her again someday soon.

Re: Raven's Mom

Bro. Raven,
May the PEACE of GOD which passeth all understanding KEEP your hearts and
minds through Christ Jesus.
There is a reason that Jesus said that IF He went not away, the Comforter could
not come. He knew it was better for Him to be IN His People, whenever they needed
comfort, peace, etc. HE would make His abode (dwelling place IN them) that where
HE was, they would be also. Whereever HE is, we are there too. He will "come to your
father). He will NOT leave your father comfortless. Jesus said. "I WILL COME TO YOU"
Not in flesh but in Spirit. In the darkest hour, the midnight hour, He will come to your
Dad". He will never put more on us than we can bear. HE will come to us. The Com-
forter IS come!

Beautiful Pictures!

Blessings,

Falla39

Re: Raven's Mom

Bro. Raven,

It was an honor to attend the homegoing of this sister in the Lord. And what a homecoming it was. A beautiful service, befitting of one whose dedication and faithfulness to the Lord is very much in evidence.

As the service progressed, I thought of the sadness and lonliness you, your family and, especially, your dad, will face in coming days, but I am also reminded of the assurance that your mother is with the Lord she loved. Of that, there is no doubt.

May God bless you in the coming days.

Lovely photos.
Will be lifting your Dad and the rest of your family up in prayer.
