Resurgam
My dear Aunt Mary passed away yesterday at 10:30am. She lived with her daughter in Orlando, FL for most of my life, but I always loved whenever she came to visit. She was a gifted artist, and three of her beautiful paintings hang proudly in our living room. She was also very knowledgeable about the Bible; my former pastor loved to talk to her and often said that she had forgotten more about the Bible than he ever knew.
Although we will miss her here, I know that Heaven is rejoicing at her homecoming.
