IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY MOM

Mom's Good Character Training

Mom's "good" character training were different than our Dads.

She loved and taught me how to keep going through the hardest pain and circumstances! She had Lung Cancer and was almost blind, along with other physical diseases, during her final years!

I like to remember her, when she Shot the Mendenhall. That's a rough rapid trip down a river in Alaska. She was one of the few women who would even dare to get into a raft and go down those rough rapids, during a vacation trip with a very special lady friend, that she has. She would even go on the whopper-duper upside down, high and fast rides, in those amusement parks, while people said "bravo Kelly"! And I had to even pray hard, just to handle going up a high roadway in the mountains, with no railing on the sides.

Then there were her silly ways, like going to bed with her boots still on, because her feet were swollen and she just decided to go to bed with them on any way.There was no sitting in the rocking chair for this woman, until she had to, when her physical strength demanded it. She started saying, in more recent years, "scratch that one off the list of things that I can't do anymore".

In her younger years, she cooked, cleaned, took care of her husband and family, ran a pet shop, gardened, volunteered for Girl Scout things (and that's when the Girl Scouts promised to "obey God" and their country), and made cookies and cup cakes, as a room mother for our school groups. Whew!

Mom gave her life to the Lord Jesus in her final years.

She left us here, with a "MIRACLE SMILE of her face”, to go to be in Paradise with Jesus in 2005.

I loved you Mom and are so glad for you that your suffering is over here!

We don’t sorrow, as the world sorrows,

if we die as Christians,
because of the Hope
that we have in the Lord Jesus Christ .
We know that we will be together again!

Scripture Reading - by Maureen Buckner

“…Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written,
DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY.
“O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH,

WHERE IS YOUR STING?”
1 Corinthians 15:50-55



“I will meet you in the morning,
I will meet you in the morning,
Just inside the Eastern Gates over there.”
Song given to Maureen

A Time of Sharing
Kelly Trusted

by Ernie Schmidt

Kelly prayed in the last days of her life.

She became as a child, dependent on those around her.

The Good Lord, in His Mercy, surrounded Kelly with love and caring from her girls.
Maureen was with her day and night, Terry on weekends,

praying soothing and giving comfort to a dieing mother.

Sandy came from L.A. when she could, to sit with her and hold her frail little hands.

The girls did exactly what God expected of them,

loving and honoring the wishes of a dieing mother.
GOD BLESS the girls!


KELLY’S PRAYER AT THE LAST HOUR

by Ernie Schmidt

Lord, I trust you completely.

Lord I worship you above all,
then I will be prepared to see you in full splendor in the day I meet you.

Let me hear you speak to my Heart. Let me get used to your voice, so when I die the only sound will be the music of your voice.

Make Heaven more real to me than earthly things.

Show me how to die that I may rise again to new life,

that I would live daily for you, so I would be accustomed to your GLORY,

when I enter HEAVEN to live with you FOREVER
Amen.

A Tribute to GIGI - Read by Nioma Merchant
Kelsea Merchant had interviewed her Great Grandmother GIGI, and written an article about her childhood and life. It sounded like some of her life was very hard!
We were blessed to be able to hear a great granddaughter’s composition.
