"My mother passed away on Monday morning, but I just wanted share the goodness of God that I have experienced in the days since. There has been a peace placed in my heart that I have I never had before. Hard to explain it but I know its there my faith has been strengthed as well, heaven is not a place but a destination. Jesus is my Rock as I hope he is yours if he is'nt look for him cause he is looking for you. As im on this walk with my Lord and he grows me into his likeness im so humbled and blessed to know that he has this all under control, all of it.. Seeing the Lord work in my family as well has been another blessing and the answering of my prayers in the situation has been so encouraging. God is soverign and I place my life in his hands knowing that I may have choices, but ultimately but God has me in his hand. Glory to the maker of the heaven and earth.."
"Yesterday at the service, a lady came up to my brother Billy and I (and later spoke when people were invited to talk about my mom) to let us know how loving my mom was to her and her child. They were just customers at the place my mom worked but, as we were told, it meant so much more to them. My mom made them feel at home and welcomed. The woman's parents were far away so her son didn't get to see his grandparents much. Mom hugged her son everytime they came in and truly cared for them. My mom brought new meaning to the term "customer service" and I know that this story will live on in my heart forever."
"Thank you Josh"
