a long life

The family said goodbye to Aunt Dottie today.
She was laid to rest surrounded by those who loved her
in the midst of stunningly beautiful flowers
on a sun-filled morning
with the children running around in their Sunday best.....
We watched her body being given back to the earth.

Afterwards we fellowshipped together over a meal remarking on how much Dottie would have enjoyed being there with us laughing and eating.

Her love and generosity will not soon be forgotten.
Thank you God for allowing her to be a part of our family....

The only hope in death is Christ Jesus!

"Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised,
and his greatness is unsearchable.
One generation shall commend Your works to another
and shall declare Your mighty acts.

On the glorious splendor of your majesty,
and on your wondrous works,
I will meditate.

They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds,
and I will declare your greatness.
They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness
and shall sing aloud of Your righteousness."

Psalm 145: 3 ~ 7
