Her and dad met in 1976passing.  

She had 3 sisters and a brother.  Ann, Martha, Becky and Tommy.  

She had 5 brain surgeries, the last in 1993. 

She lived with seizures from the time of the first surgery until she passed.  They were horrible.  She also had mental illness.  

Her favorite flower was Yellow roses, she loved the color blue and was the best cook in the world until she got to where she lost interest these last few years.  

She was loving, kind and would help anyone.   She hadn't been able to work since the first surgery.

My mom taught me to be independent & self sufficient.  She told me when I moved out on my own, sink or swim its on you.  She also taught me not to ever be the victim but to be a survivor.  As a child I watched her clean house every day and she would always get up and fix her hair & makeup.  She sparkled and the room lit up when she entered it.

Message

Ecclesiastes 3:1–11 NIV84

1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, 6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, 8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. 9 What does the worker gain from his toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on men. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

At our Death …

We will all by Judge by our Faith, not our righteousness.

We will all by Judge by our Faith, not our righteousness.

We will all stand before God

We will all live eternally in heaven or hell
