22 Jun 2021Virginia (Ginny) Harper is with her Lord and Saviour JESUS CHRIST in Heaven at this Present Moment,and for ALL ETERNITY.
*{2 Corinthians 5:5+8} (5) For we know that if our earthly-house of this tabernacle were dissolved,(our body)we have a building of GOD,an house not made with hands, ETERNAL in the HEAVENS .
*(8) We are confident,I say,and willing rather to be ABSENT from the BODY,and to be PRESENT WITH THE LORD.
*(7)-( For we walk by FAITH, not by sight 🙂
NO MORE PAIN,NO MORE SUFFERING.
We are sad that Virginia is gone,but don’t feel sorry for her anymore. She is with JESUS, FOREVERMORE. AMEN !

5 Jul 2021My mother has gone home and is with our loving Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I will miss her smiling face and sweet voice. However, I know that I will be with her again one day when the Lords calls me home. I cherish all the memories of this dear woman that I had the honor of calling Mother. Until we meet again in Heaven, you are always with me in my heart.

5 Jul 2021Thank you Pau and Linda. These words you wrote are all so true. It gives me comfort knowing she trusted and had faith in the Lord and what he accomplished at the cross for all of us when He died for our sins and rose again 3 days later. Amen!
