Thank you for the beautiful flowering trees beside the long white fence.

And thank you for your kind words. This lady who passed away was 88 years old but you would never know it. We went to the same church and she was in the Red Hats. She loved the Red Hats more than anyone. Her mind was terrific, she drove her car every day and loved everyone and especially her Heavenly Father.

About 10 months ago the doctor diagnosed lung cancer and it couldn’t be treated. He advised that she may have 6 months to live. I always told her “doctors don’t know everything and God could do anything.” She was a good Christian and believed God could do anything. I want you to know that she never suffered. Several of us ladies took her to lunch a few times and she said had the doctor not told her she had cancer, she would not know it. What a blessing. That type of cancer can be cruel!

She just got sick during the last few days and was on a breathing tube for 24 hours and they took it off because she was doing better. A few hours later, she took her last breath and died peacefully, just as she had lived. I went to visitation last night and another friend told me that was what had happened. We are all so grateful that she had a peaceful death. We know she is with Jesus now for sure!

This is not supposed to be a sad story but a sweet good story. We who are left do shed tears because we will miss her presence with us but we know she is in a better place.
