Sorry I haven't been on in a while. Jeremy lost his grandmother two weeks ago and it has been very hectic. We went to see her since the doctors said her health was deteriorating, and the next day after we saw her, she passed on.We are thankful for the thoughts and prayers of those who knew of Jeremy's and more pointedly this worlds tremendous loss.
Velma was a wonderful, bright and kind woman, a loving mother, grandmother and wife who will be sorely missed.
Our consolations are that she is no longer suffering and also that she believed with all her heart in Jehovah God and in the Resurrection Hope provided by the sacrifice of his son Jesus Christ. I would like to take a quick moment to honor her and her beliefs by sharing a part of her eulogy.....
Velma loved many things in her life, she loved her family and always wanted to know how everyone was doing even when she wasn't feeling well. She loved playing her guitar and singing to her family- everyone loved hearing her sing, "You are my Sunshine"
But the most important thing in Velma's life was her relationship with Jehovah God. She looked forward to the fulfillment of the promise at Revelation 21: 4-5
"And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away, and the One seated on the throne said: Look I am making all things new. Also he says, Write, because these words are faithful and true."
This Bible truth inspired her and she looked forward to the earth being made new, when she will enjoy life with perfect health, peace, and happiness.
