Just an update:
My mom just sent me a text via my brother, Kenneth. He wanted her to let me know that Mrs. Velma’s family just sang her into GLORY! He said it was a beautiful time. They all sat on the bed and sang.
Tim, the kids, and I are on vacation 3,000 miles away, on the opposite coast of where my heart is right now. Tears of joy and tears of sadness have welled up in me and running down my face.
Joy, because I know Mrs. Velma is in no more pain.  She is running the halls of her new mansion she knew she was going to.  She is probably standing (because she has been bedridden for so long), and not sitting, beside Jesus hanging on every word He says.
Sadness, because a loved one is not here on earth anymore to hold, touch, and chat face to face with.  Oh, she is not only listening to Jesus, but she is watching her loved ones closely and can hear every word. (I am not “biblically” sure on that, but I can just imagine her smiling down on her family and friends.)
For a lady who has taught many people, young and old, about the love of God and His grace, let us continue in this tradition.  Share Jesus with others so that they too will have the assurance of a mansion in Heaven and chillin’ out with names like, Moses, Paul, Noah, Job, John, and JESUS.
May the family feel God’s loving arms around them giving them big hugs from us all.
