Dear Girls,
I first met your mother when you were babies, and I your baby sitter. Even with two active little girls, your sweet mother was full of fun and kindness. Later we became good friends. I was baptized in your family pool at one of the many whole-church picnics back in the early days of Tammany Christian Fellowship. Many of us met at your house after you had gone off to college for a wonderful community group of Bible study and prayer. Your mother's faith was real and growing. She will be remembered with great love by so many in this community! I think of her bright smile, sweet spirit, and steady faith in Christ, which never changed over the years as we grew older together -- except to grow ever stronger!
I find it the strongest comfort to rest in these words found in John 11:25-26:
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die.
Your sweet mother is with Jesus. You will see her again and so will I. May the Father bless and keep you through this sad time, but take heart in His promises, for He is good and faithful to us.
With Love,
Eugenie Martin
