Mom passed away this morning at 12:49 AM, Sunday, Nov. 12, surrounded by Dad; my sister, Elenn; and me. The final days were filled with love, comfort, and peace. Earlier in the evening, we had a visit from my brother, and my sister, Faith, was able to say goodbye over the phone from San Diego (she spent 8 days here last month), and Anya said goodbye over the phone from Sweden.
She leaves a life-giving legacy of love for Jesus, a passion for life-long learning, a deep appreciation of other cultures, a spirit of service, an abundance of generosity (evidenced by all the direct mail appeals! Her name must be on every non-profit fund-raising mailing list!), and a zeal for adding “-ly” when words are in adverbial form.
Thank you for all your prayers. It was a blessing to spend these past 5 days with her.
With blessings,
Beth
As our Maasai say so eloquently, “We eat your sorrow with you.” We know you’ve been blessed by her presence in your lives, we pray now for peace and grace in this time of her loss to you and rejoice for her gain. Love, Jeannmarv
So glad you were able to be with her. My thoughts and prayers are with you. -Kari
