I did not know Maude personally, but during a very difficult time in my life, she was a consistant and devouted prayer warrior for me. I truly believe that her unfaultering faith and prayer aided in my recovery of stage 4 ovarian cancer. I have no doubt that she is now one of God's most precious angels. My deepest heartfelt sympathies go out to this wonderful woman's family.
We will miss you very much. Give Grandpa a hug and a kiss for me. Love you!
When I consider Lord,
Your cross on Calvary,
The load so hard to bear
for all humanity.
I come with my small load.
Almost ashamed to say,
"I cannot bear it Lord;
It is too great today."
Perhaps you shaped this grief
To fit my very heart,
To make me lean on You
And richer grace impart.
Whatever purpose, Lord
You have in this, my grief,
Let me accept Your will
to calm, serene belief.
If angels appear on earth one of them was my Aunt
Maudie, we've been on an amazing journey together.
She was closer to me than a mother, and her children
hold a special placed in my heart, if it would not have not been for Alice and Dick my family would not have been saved, and my husband could not have made it through his cancer. Maude, Dick and
Alice were very special to him. When Aunt Maudie
prayed God listened and she had the faith of a grain of a mustard seed. She had the best granddaughter Danna who was very special to her, Danna did so much for her, she stayed the test,
Its not an easy job to do. I believe she watching over her right now. All of her children are the best
of the best. Johnnie, Peggy,and Wayne Alice and Dick and Linda, no its me who has been blest.
neat cousins to have. I have been truly blest
I know without a doubt Maude has joined her HEAVENLY FATHER and all those that have preceded her. Maude was one of the most special people I have ever known. Peggy, Alice and Linda, I know you will grieve but I also know we will spend eternity with her. You guys are in my prayers during this time. I'm thankful that I was able to visit with her before she left and will remember her studying a card from a friend and when I ask her what it said she said "Happy Birthday" and just smiled. And Dana what a blessing you have been to her. It takes a really special person to care for someone and you were choosen to do that!
