No, this life was merely the preamble to eternity. A few weeks before her death, she clipped the following quote and placed it next to her will.“Depend upon it. You dying hour will be the best hour you have ever known! Your last moment will be your richest moment, better than the day of your birth will be the day of your death. It shall be the beginning of heaven, the rising of a sun that shall go no more down forever!”Then, in her own handwriting she wrote, “So true, so wonderful.” -MomIn lieu of flowers, please make donations to Samaritan’s Ministries.
