He will call; the dead will answer.
They shall live at his command.
For he will have a longing for the work of his own hand.
So have faith and do not wonder, For God can make us stand, and we will live forever.
As the work of his own hand.
-Job 14:13-15
Mother had four passions in her life, her God Jehovah, her service to him, her children and people. She never met a stranger. Thank you for being our mother. We will love you forever.
In lieu of flowers, please give your parents a call and give your children a hug.
A funeral service will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 10 at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 4 Road 2595 in Aztec, with Earl Jewel officiating.
