She could close her eyes and see a mountain covered with beautiful flowers and in the center was a lighter colored bunch. She was asked what she thought it meant, she said it was God's Flower Garden. She was always happy to cook dinner for her brothers and sisters of the church even when she wasn't able and was always glad to have them come and visit. Mom has left us now for a home on high with streets of gold where there will be no more sickness or sorrow.

As one of the original members of the Little Rose Church, she was a faithful and devoted member. Mom's quiet and simple Christian life provided an "inspiration" to her family and all who knew her, Mom's life was devoted to serving God and caring for her family, She lived her life serving others. With her pleasing personality and her willingness to help, she touched many lives, Her greatest concern in life was providing for her husband and children. She loved and gave freely of herself to each and every one of us -never asking for anything in return. She had the ability to make every member of the family feel special. Her rewards came from making others happy. She lived in the shadow of Dad, always putting herself in the background, but in reality, was the backbone of the family. She was always there when we needed her, giving us love, support and encouragement. Our parents love for each other was shown in the way they left us. One day after their 53rd wedding anniversary, our father passed away in the morning hours. Mom's love for him was stronger than her desire to live, causing her to be stricken on the same day with an illness that resulted in her going home to be with him. She will be greatly missed! We feel that She and Dad are with Jesus and are waiting to welcome us home.

He was ordained to the ministry in 1949 and has tried to fight the battle with patience ever since. For the past few years I have been afflicted and spent much time in the hospital. I was lying in the hospital a few months ago when I fell asleep and was carried out in a vision to behold what the good Lord has waiting for me. I saw the destruction that was coming on the world for their sinful ways and I was begging the people to repent, but they would not listen, I became in great fear and cried out "Lord, what can I do?" A voice spoke to me and said, "Stand on the rock". A great stone came rolling to my side. When I climbed the rock all fear left me and I saw the destruction catch people and all living things as they were carried around the rock; and I never felt any fear. Most people would not believe such destruction is coming until it is too late. 1 was led to the top of the mountain and looked down on the other side. I saw a long green valley, I thought it was the valley of the shadow of death, I started down the valley in great fear and the Lord appeared by my side, All fear left me and we walked down the valley together. When we got near the end I could see a beautiful city ahead of me. A ladder came down out of the sky and stood near me. It was made of no Id and the Lord told me to climb it. I thought of Jacob's Ladder and I started up the ladder. When I got to where I could see over the city, it was the most beautiful place I have ever seen. I asked the Lord to let me go on into the city and he said, "No, not now". I came back down the ladder and stood beside the Lord. He pointed at that beautiful city and said, "This is where you'll spend your vacation". That pleased me, so I never asked for anything else. So, you see, I am only gone on vacation to a place of joy and peace forever. Wife and children, friends and neighbors - come take a vacation with me. I'll be waiting to welcome you home.
