So last night we were at Arby's eating dinner and I got a call from my Grandmother. My cousin Anita died Friday morning. She is actually my Grandmothers niece and she is older than my Grandma but I have always been really close to her and her husband Chet. So naturally I was upset and told Ernie to take me home.
Well I had to tell my mom because she is spending the weekend here with us and my Grandma hadn't been able to get in touch with her.
Then last night we get a call from Ernie's Aunt telling us that the house his mother was living in with some other people has burned to the ground and she lost everything. The Red Cross is putting her up in a motel for the weekend and they gave her a gift card to Wal-Mart to get some clothes and things she will need.
So then this morning we get another phone call telling us that when Anita passed away yesterday morning her husband Chet was also slipping away. Chet passed away last night to be with his beloved Anita in the arms of Jesus.
This has been a really trying day or so. I will miss them terribly but they had both been in very poor health and he had even been in a nursing home for almost 5 years. I know that they are not suffering anymore and that I will see them again in Heaven! I know that they were Christians and that they had both Accepted Jesus so I will see them again.
Well I guess I should stop rambling. I have to find a scripture I can put in the card I am sending the Chet and Anita's 4 children. My 3rd cousins and their families. I will probably not be able to attend the funeral but my mother and Grandparents are going so they will take my condolences with them. Well May God bless you and keep you and may His light be made to shine upon your face.
