The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Acts 21:14, “And since he would not be persuaded, we fell silent, remarking, ‘The will of the Lord be done!’”

Dear people from here and around the world have prayed for Rose Marie. We are so blessed to have so many friends –praying friends, friends who care. Yet, in the Providence of Almighty God, He has elected to take her. She has not left us yet –only deeply in sorrow at the thought.

She is receiving the very BEST of care at Circle of Life hospice. The doctors and nurses are “top notch,” loving and tender. I cannot describe how well she has been treated. We rejoice in that.

Your prayers and support have meant so much more than you could possibly know! Richard, Teri, Robert and I are so grateful.

Resurrection Sunday was an enormous time of praise and worship. Rose Marie’s room was filled to capacity with family and close friends. We sang and sang and sang the great hymns of the Faith! And when Teri leaned in and asked Mom if she could hear the singing, she nodded yes.

Her body is simply worn out. She has so many balancing issues that all of her doctors were nonplused. Yet, she witnessed to them when she was so ill. “I know the LORD Jesus Christ as my Savior,” she said; “and I am ready to meet Him.” Christian and non-Christian doctors and nurses were astoounded at her boldness, despite it being spoken between quick short breaths. What a girl I married!

Notification from Teri just came. She is ready to go and see Mom. More later….

God bless you! And thank you all for your faithful prayers.
