My Mothers body died Tuesday January 26th. 3 days shy of her 99th. Birthday. She was not ill at all, just frail and worn down.She had a wonderful life,was widowed from my Dad when she was 42,married my step-Dad at the age of 71, widowed aagain in 1996 at the age of 85.
She was greatly admired and Dearly loved by all who knew her.
She leaves behind approximately 70 decendents including 5 Great-Great Grandchildren who will miss her.
It's been my extreme privilege and honor to have had her in my life this past 75 years.
Tomorrow, Friday,on her 99th Birthday, we celebrate her life and give her back to Jesus. Her Spirit and Legacy will be with us for the rest of our lives.
Glory be to Jesus Christ. |

Sincere condolences Ollie. Sounds like your Mother lived a good long happy life. You are fortunate to have had her with you all these years. Losing them is never easy, but you can take comfort in the fact that she was well and didn't have any misery to endure. Wishing you Peace and Comfort. |

Ollie,
You speak of your mother with great love in your heart. There is no doubt that she was as proud of you as you are of her! Imagine the joy she must have had seeing you through to adulthood, and then becoming your friend and confidant in later years.
May God bless you, your family and friends as you bid her farewell today on her 99th birthday - until you meet again.
