My Condolencs to YOU!

I just started this, I havent really cried yet, just a few short ones, you know?

I just hope it isnt when I am driving or something!

The Lord be with you and with your family, Race Bannon.

The Lord is my Shepherd,
I shall not want...
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures,
He leadeth me beside still waters.
He restoreth my soul,
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
for Thou art with me;
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

At the funeral home, we had over 250 people come through on the night of Mama's wake. It was a testament to what a lovely woman she truly was. My sister's boss, and another friend of hers came up from the MS Gulf Coast to attend it, and when they walked in, they were amazed at all the laughing going on. It was a good thing there was not another family in the funeral home that night, they might not have understood. We were truly HAPPY that Mama had been released from the grip of the disease and that she was in Heaven with the Lord she loved and with our Daddy who had gone on 22 years before. Sure there was some sadness, but that was just selfishness on our part that she wouldn't be here with us any longer. There was mostly an overwhelming sense of relief that she was no longer enduring the mental suffering.

I'm sure you understand what I mean.
