We are so very sorry for your loss! Your Mother was not only a very Dear Sister, Zealous and Faithful for the MANY years, but also a,very SPECIAL FRIEND of our Family! Many fond memories of her friendship with Pauline. She leaves a wonderful example for ALL.
We appreciate your kind words and support. We appreciated seeing you at the Memorial. My mother treasured her association with your families. My mother had great trust in Jehovah as we do also.
My mom used to remember Eleanor and her mother coming by bus to Beatrice. She got acquainted with Wilmer. The rest is history for that part. I always found her to be patient, kind, and caring. Sad to think of her being gone but know that Jehovah will remember her at the right time to restore life. (John 5:28,29) For now we all should heed her heartfelt desire that we all increase our faith in Jehovah and look forward to being there when his promises are fulfilled.
Thank You for your comments. We treasure the moments that our two families associated with each other. We look forward to the Kingdom hope.
