She took 8 years to die of a rare brain disease. She died on 21 Dec. My 3 children want the verse of Job 1/21 inscribed on a cross to remind them of the bitter sweet experience of the death of their believing mother. The words come easy. Most of the time we can mean them. We look forward to heaven. I sit here trying to write out a graveside service for my wife. She took 8 years to die of a rare brain disease. She died on 21 Dec.

Even though my path crossed with hers for a short time and not even frequently at that, I appreciated her and admired her as a mom and as a woman in ministry.

It is released as a good example for those who have gone through this kind of pain and for those who will have to go through it sometime in the future. We need to know that He shares our pain. Blessed be your name On the road marked with suffering Though there’s pain in the offering Blessed be your name Lord help us to not forget YOUR Everlasting LOVE.

The love will never be gone nor the memories. No one knows unless we go through it but it really helps us to know more specifically how to pray for you when you share like this. Only God can comfort this kind of pain - and He will. It sounds strange, but I’m so glad you and Lois had such a love that hurts so bad when she is gone. The love will never be gone nor the memories.
