My dear friend next door passed away this morning. Her mom tells me that she left us with that half crooked smile on her face. I wonder what her eyes caught first...the smile on Jesus face, His open arms, her dad, the amazing surroundings of that Heavenly city, the angels, oh the list could go on and on. I do know she can sit up now without any pain. She can run. She can dance. She can sing. And I hope she meets my dad at some point after she's gotten settled into her new home.
I will miss her very much. But I am thrilled that she left this life knowing where her journey would take her. I am blessed to have known Anne-Marie and will cherish the friendship we shared for the rest of my life. So I say farewell to my precious friend with the assurance that we will meet again. Who knows, we might even end up next door to one another! Wouldn't that be just like Jesus to arrange such a thing!
I'm so sorry for the passing of your friend, Michelle, but so thankful that she is with Jesus! our loss is always tempered by the fact that we know where our loved ones and friends are spending eternity and that we will get to spend eternity with them too! I didn't realize how sick she was; I knew she had cancer but I didn't realize her death was so eminent; so thankful that you were able to be there to help her to get to know about Jesus so she could believe in him and accept him as her Savior!
