Virginia and Dennis and families! Their brother and uncle, Earnest, passed away and his funeral was today in Salem, MO! Cliff and I didn't attend, as the viewing was at 10:00 and the funeral was at 11:00! My car is having new brakes put on it, Thursday, and with the weather and our breathing problems, we didn't try to make it down or in time!
Earnest was crippled in his right arm and foot all his life, some mental retardation, and an epileptic.....had to take meds to keep from having bad spells! I wrote a poem, BUTTERFLY WINGS, about him and now he is free from his earthly body like a cocoon, with its Butterfly Wings! He was 71 and always close to our hearts! He was so funny at times and had a smile with a twinkle in his eyes! He lived 9 months longer than Aunt Myrtle, his mother and my mom's sister! He and his mother were together most of their lives, so he took it really hard when she passed away in her 90's.
Also pray for my neighbor, Anna Maria, and her family, her sisters and brother and their families! Their father passed away and his funeral was today also! He reached 100 yrs and she had said she thought he would get to be 100 yrs in age! They took turns taking care of him! If I lived that long, I would have almost 28 years yet to live this earthly life!
But however long God wants me here, here I will stay serving Him, as long as I have my right mind! ?????? 
God Bless!
