Loss of my best friend, and sister in Christ: Gifted to us from October 24, 1950-August 16, 2017

I just learned of this when it posted to my site this afternoon. My sister in Christ had free reign to my WP administrator. I emailed her Tuesday taking for granted we would “speak” once more. I don’t know how Susan managed to tell me goodbye, but she will be sorely missed. Prayers, please, for her family.

B Is for Blessed!

My dear sweet Jesus she is with you now, her lifelong dream of eternity. Help me to understand why you needed her more.

  5. I am so sorry for your loss- our loss. She said kind words with wisdom too to me. It is such a shock when someone dies so suddenly. Death is a shock anyway. And yet now perhaps she will be with us even more than before. And we can rest assured she is in the palms of the hands of God. Amen
