I visited with Mom a couple of days before leaving in July. She was very happy to see me and very cheerful.
We had a long conversation as usual and I can only tell you she was emotionally ready to go home to the Lord. She missed her friends and family that had gone before her.She was concerned for her two sons still here.
I know your loss is great. Please remember that she is happy now with her loved ones already in heaven. I have always loved Mom. After all, what was there not to love?
We were sorry to hear of the recent loss of your mother, Bill. We send you are heartfelt condolences from our family to yours. Our prayers go out to you at this time,
Love,
Craig & Aymee Veiner
Proverbs 31:10-31 is about this good woman...Mary Lou Hill..... Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her,so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. She is like the merchants' shops; she bringeth her food from afar. She riseth also while it is yet night , and giveth meatto her household, and a portion to her maidens. She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. she is not afraid of the sno forher household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet. She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eatheth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously but thou excellests them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates..............
Our deepest sympathy and love.......
