Letter to Everyone:
I want all of my loved ones, from Massachusetts to Florida, Texas to Alaska and all places I have been in between, to know that the only thing of value I leave on this earth, is the Revelation of Jesus Christ. I regret that I did not make Him the Lord of my life earlier, but He redeemed me and I go to Him victoriously. For those I harmed in word or deed, I am truly sorry! Forgiving me will release you from some heavy chains. Turn to Jesus for your comfort. I failed you, but He never will! For those I have loved, Thank you for giving me a part of yourself that became a part of me. You made my stay here so rich! May God bless you! To all, I leave the most valuable-actually priceless possession I have: the knowledge that you too, can have this gift of God - eternal life in Christ Jesus. If you have not considered a real relationship with God our Father through His Son, please do so right now. For God Jehovah loved you so very much that He gave His heart, His Son, His begotten child, Jesus Christ, to pay the price for your sin by dying in your place (you were born a sinner you know), but that is not the end of it! Because Jesus died for all of us (as a ransom, paid the price), and rose from the dead (do you believe that?) and even now sits at the Father's right hand, you can come into that very place someday! Jesus sits there to be the Mediator for us, as we stumble through life, and He says, "Remember Father, what I did for this dear child, and do not see the failings, but only my sacrifice. My blood washed away the ugliness. This is now your child.." So because God gave you Jesus, all you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins, and believe in Jesus, receive Him into your very essence (believe IN Him) and you will have eternal, wonderful life! I hope to see you again some day! Do not grieve overly long for me. It is OK to miss me, but you should go on and make the mark for Jesus that He intends for you to. Be a person of God's intent. Breathe, move, and have your being as a child of the King! Touch someone today with His hand, speak with His words, love with His heart. I'm waiting for you in His presence!

From Norma - to Those Attending her Memorial Service: Michelle was a dear friend and "sister in the Lord" for many years. She was a friend you could share the good, the bad and the ugly with and she still loved you. Throughout the years we shared a lot of tears and much laughter! In the last few years thru her battle with cancer I saw an inner strength in Michelle that only came thru her faith in God. She was so appreciative of the many kind things you did for her in those 'really hard times' ... how you shared your hours to help her attain her medical coverage. In the last days of Michelle's life she said "Whether I go or whether I stay it's in your hands Lord" She was at peace! She was able to spend the last hour without pain and with all her family around her. I can say God's grace was truly sufficient for her. So when you think of her from time to time remember how much your kindness meant to her. Also I want you to know she made mention of you all in her prayers from time to time believing you would come to the knowledge of your need for Jesus Christ her Lord and Savior and one day yours. |
