As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Wednesday evening my Mom heard the words “Well done my good and faithful servant”. She passed peacefully and without pain. We were so blessed that Lisa, myself and the kids got to see, talk and pray with her one last time. So much to be so grateful for; she was an awesome, godly woman and an incredible mom. A VERY special thinks to my siblings and brother in law who took such great care of her until the end. Her mind remained sharp, her faith unflinching, and her attitude positive and grateful. She is now in the presence of her Savior and reunited with my dad. Til we see you again Mom… all our love.
