Gretchen sent me several CDs of praise songs from her church. She was always thinking of ways to help and support others.

Here’s a copy of her last freepmail sent to give me comfort when she learned of the death of my beloved husband Richard.

I had no idea she was so ill. My heart goes out to her son Mark and her large extended family.

I spoke to her only one time but I will always remember her strong faith, lovely voice and lilting laughter.
She is now singing with sweet angels in her happy heavenly home!

Dear Julie,

I find myself praying one word over you and all your loved ones recently: “Grace.”

Also that you will have grace to focus on your heavenly reunion with Richard, where there will be no pain or suffering, nor any more loss, so as to lessen things now at hand.

Romans 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

Tender love and prayers,
Gretchen

Julie.... I understand her strong faith too, while watching her deal with her cousin’s Carrie’s head injury. I understand the shock you are feeling, because I am feeling it too. She never complained. I just remember her computer was giving her problems once.

Thank you for sharing this powerful message with us, Julie, and God bless you.

Romans 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

Amen.
