This morning shortly before 7 A.M. the Lord took my mother-in-law Rogelia "Penny" Bailey to be with him. She was 91 years old and was healthy and in control of her mental faculties right up until the end. She loved her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. They were the focus and enjoyment of her life. They had the same love for her.
Her daughter and son spent almost every minute of the past month caring and visiting with her. She succumbed to cancer but was able to avoid the suffering that many cancer patients go through. She was an example to all of us with her grace, strength, and fortitude.
We all will love and miss you Nana.
Dear Lord
If it be thy will during this difficult time we ask you Lord for strength and understanding. Remind us Lord to keep faith and belief in what you have planned for us. Lord please hold our mother in your hands soothing and comforting her. Thank you for the time we have been able to share with her. We hope the love and concern we have for her was of some benefit to her. She did not weep for herself nor should we, but instead reflect on the time we had with her. We humbly ask for these things in Jesus Name,
Amen
