She loved the Lord.  Her faith is now sight. We will grieve the loss of her presence with us.  She is rejoicing, dancing, breathing new air with no difficulty. We thank the Lord for His love, grace and mercy that was poured out on Mom.  It is in Him that she has come to heaven, to that great cloud of witnesses, to Mt. Zion and the church of the first born whose names are in heaven.  Amazing Grace!  Amazing Love!  Our dear Mom, Nana and Granny is understanding that love in a whole new way now and forever.
