She loved her family and a few things made everyday life more joyful…Coke, cheesy eggs and bacon, jelly toast dipped in coffee, coney dogs, chips, pizza and Rueben’s ;) she was a foodie! Many times over these last years we sat vigil believing she was stepping into heaven soon, but God had other plans and she would wake up and ask for a Coke and a coney dog and we knew she was pulling thru. She had more than 9 lives and she tested them all.

We love you to the moon and back, around the world, a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck.

1 Thessalonians 4

13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. 15 For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.

Praise God for the Promise and Hope we have in Jesus! Be Encouraged! There is a great reunion coming!

At the family’s request there will be no service.
