Mammie Nella passed on earlier this evening (8/11/08),Jude's making arrangements to go to Haiti to put her body to rest. What a woman she was!!! I'm truly happy that I had the previlege to know her the way I did, as a woman ,my husband's mom,Grandmother to our kids and my mother-in-law.In all those roles she played, her ability to show abundant love and compassion was always visible.I'm thanking God for taking her out of her suffering because when our loved ones suffer so do we.I remember how very hard it was for us to see Daddy Shed this outer case and the pain he endured, but God only knows the purposes of our lives.It's usually through these moments of deep loss that we're able to step outside of ourselves and come to the real purpose of our journey here on earth, i.e. to serve God and do his will, to be conduits for him.
Please continue to pray for Jude that God will give him clarity of mind to make the decisions and for physical Strength in the preparation of them paying their final respects to a Mother who did good for her children inspite of insurmountable odds stacked against her. I only wish I were there physically in Haiti to stand with him and comfort him, but God knows all things and does all things best. Thank you for your listening ear and vigilent prayers.
Love always
