Some Sad News

My very aged Aunty Edna finished her race this morning.

She passed away peacefully in the nursing home that she recently moved to earlier this year, after becoming too frail to stay at home with my cousin any longer.
My sweet mother has been very blessed to have had her big sister for such a long time.
She was 100 years and 10 months old!
A strong character and family matriarch..
who will be sadly missed.

    I'm sorry to hear that your aunt has passed-on. This news truly brings some tears to my eyes. I pray that your family will be able to get through this difficult transition without too much grief or sadness.

    Of course, though she may be gone from this earth, she is safely in Heaven in the arms of Jesus!

    I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your Dear Aunty . You stated; "She ran the race..."
    I think that is awesome, and I hope that I will be remembered as one who ran the race also (Hebrews 12:1). The pictures are precious, and thank you for sharing them.

    God bless you friend,
    Hugs~
