On Tuesday of last week we were told that she was worse. We went over that evening and were able to spend some quality time with her. She passed away the next evening and this is what I wrote on my Facebook page....
Yesterday Chuck and I were honored and humbled to spend some time talking and praying at the bedside of our 82 year old neighbor, Celia. One of the things we talked about was that she was going to meet sweet Jesus soon. Well, this evening she entered the gates of heaven. I am saddened that I won't have the comfort of looking out the window and knowing she is there or sitting on her back porch chatting. My heart is rejoicing that she is healed, whole and sitting at the feet of Jesus! We'll miss you, Celia, but look forward to seeing you again one day.
She was like family and had a special bond with Megan. As sad as we are we know that this is God's plan... life, death, hardship and joy... through it all life keeps moving on...
May your day be filled with joy and contentment!
Sorry to hear about your loss, Wendi. Glad for your friendship, though, and that you'll see her again one day!

ReplyDeleteOh I'm so sorry to hear about her passing. It's so hard when you become attached to someone and they pass away, never easy. :(
ReplyDeleteSad and beautiful. Bless your hearts as you mourn this sweet lady. Can you imagine the conversations she is having now.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about your neighbor-no wait-I am sorry but I also understand the rejoicing. It is hard for us to say goodbye but so sweet for those who pass on that know Jesus. I am glad the Lord blessed your life with this special friend. God bless.
