From Sandra Cook Kendrick

God's never late, seldom early, but always on time.

God has seen you struggling (with something),

God says it's over. A blessing is coming your way.

If you believe in God send to ten people,

please don't ignore, you are being tested.

Sandra Cook Kendrick, sent me this poem and I thought I would pass it on.

EATHEL MARTIN WELSCH'S FATHER-IN-LAW
Don't forget to include the Welsch in your prayers.

Just a Memory Away
Just a Memory Away
I'm no longer by your side,
but there's no need to weep;
I've left sweet recollections I'm hoping you will keep.
Eternal joy and memories stay in our hearts forever,
Strengthening our special bond that parting cannot sever.
Now it's time to journey on--so let your faith be strong,
For I am in a better place...I'm home where I belong.
And if times of loneliness bring sorrow and dismay,
Don't despair, for I am there...just a memory away.


--Rita S. Beer





MY HUSBAND’S FATHER DIED ON MONDAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING.
HE WAS AN ATTORNEY THERE IN JACKSON .
WE FLEW FROM UTAH ON TUESDAY.
HIS SISTER HAD JUST DIED UNEXPECTEDLY 8 WEEKS BEFORE.
SUCH A SHOCK FOR ALL OF US. SHE WAS A LAWYER THERE IN JACKSON AS WELL.

HOWEVER, I DID GO UP TO ABERDEEN THIS TIME TO VISIT MY MOTHER AND BROTHERS.
IT FELT GOOD TO PUT MY FEET ON MISSISSIPPI SOIL AGAIN.

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS. MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER IS FLYING IN FROM NY FOR A TWO WEEK’S VISIT.
I CAN’T WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON HER BABY, WHO WILL BE TWO IN JAN.

I AM VERY HAPPY TO HAVE ALL OF YOUR EMAIL ADDRESSES.
I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY CHRISTMAS.
