Heaven's New Occupant


My mother graciously & peacefully entered Glory last night at 11:40p.m. while I was holding her hand, stroking her head & telling her how much I love her. I am honored that the Lord allowed me the privilege.

"Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints. O LORD, truly I am Your servant, the [daughter] of Your maidservant; You have freed me from my chains." ~Psalm 116:15-16

Thank you for all of your prayers.

Blessings from Ohio . . . Kim<><

    You have honored your beautiful mother in this life and into the next. I'm thankful that it was peaceful and that you were able to be with her.I believe both your earthly daddy and your heavenly daddy are smiling.

    I'm so sorry to hear about your mother's passing, Kim...but once again I appreciate the positive way in which you present it. I'm grateful the Lord allowed you to be with her as she left her earthly body to go with Jesus.

    Hugs to you, sweet friend.
