(Prayer thread) Aunt passed away from brain tumors
May 3, 2009 | 2ndDivisionVet

Posted on 05/03/2009 12:53:29 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

My Aunt Violet Alexander passed away Friday. She was a giver, a good Christian, mother of three boys (all adults now) grandmother, and a long-time babysitter in her community. She even provided daycare to the members of the famous rock group "Slipknot" when they were tikes. A very good country cook, a warm, "diamond in the rough" type person, she was really there for me when my dad passed away in 2002. Our family and Des Moines has lost a good woman. We will miss her.

Hi 2DV,

Whether in the body or, outside the body I'm not sure! I once spent a wonderful night our next "Home" I must tell you that it's so very much better than this fallen shattered world, you should be very happy for your Aunt.

Spend some quiet time with Jesus but, don't weep for her Brother she's home now! Weeping and wanting her back is selfish. Would you bring her back to this painful place?

Take heart because, this life is rapidly falling away. Take heed that no man steal away your ticket on this train to glory! Glory is unsurpassed in heaven!

You wrote: It sounds like the world was a better place because she was in it .....

I said the exact same thing when my husband passed away...When some die the world is just a little poorer...

When he passed it seemed like a large jagged, sharp edge hole was in my soul...It doesn't go away, but with time the jagged edges become smooth and the sorrow lessens..
