HOPE

I imagine that most of you who read this blog have already heard that my Mom passed away on Monday night. Heather, my Dad and I had a good visit with her during the day. She was very talkative while we were there, saying that she wanted to go Home. That morning, we listened to a taped message by Joni Eareckson Tada titled "Let's Do Heaven". Mom even joined Joni while she sang "Higher, higher lift up Jesus higher".

We are so thankful to you, our family and friends, who have supported us since Mom was diagnosed with Cancer back in October. You have visited, called, wrote/emailed, and most importantly prayed.

There will be a memorial service held this Saturday at Fenelon Falls Baptist Church. Visitation will be at 10:00 a.m. followed by the service at 11:00 a.m. Donations can be made to Princess Margaret Hospital or to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Our Mom will be greatly missed... but we are not without hope! Mom believed and trusted her life to God. Her body is dead, but she is alive and completely healed.
