My Mother Has "Finished the Race!!"

[Charles Lingerfelt, Texas State Coordinator]

Dear friends and family:

My dear, sweet Mother passed away this evening around 6p.m. after a struggle from the
effects of her stroke last May 22nd. The last few days have been such a "heavy strain," and
I've found it difficult to stay positive. But last night I prayed for Mom, and I asked God
if it were His Will to "bring her on Home" just go ahead and do so. I just didn't want her to lie
there in "pain and suffering!"

I THINK I've prepared myself for this, and I KNOW that Mom has been "ready" for many years
for this. She was 91 years of age last May 13th. and we were "blessed" to have had her with us for so long. We are sad, and we WILL miss Mom ~ but I know that she is now at peace and rest with our Lord.

We would appreciate your prayers for our family. I love you ALL!

Blessings,

Dear Charles,
My mother passed away almost 22 years ago and there is not a single day I do not think of her and her influence on my life and I believe that you will find as time passes that your memories of her will grow and provide a stability for you that you could not achieve any other way.

Our sweet Mother passed a couple of years ago. Missing her was painful though we were so glad that her prayer to "Go home" was finally answered. She meant heaven but we were out of our house due to tree damage repair. She wanted to die at home and was concerned that the repairs would not complete in time. We had her home three days then sat by her as she peacefully left for her true home. Now, nearly two years later, we know she is still here helping us however she can.

God bless you and yours forever, Charles.

Charles, rest assured there will be many prayers for your mother to rest in peace.

Our parents reach old age and experience medical problems that give us hints of our loved one's impending departure. Even though we go through all this with them, in the end we realize that we were not quite as prepared as we thought. The bottom line is that we miss them, we miss celebrating and sharing with them. However, what never leaves us is the influence they had on our lives. The gifts they gave are too numerous to count. That is where our loved ones live on with us.
May the Lord Bless you and your family.
