Her greatest honor took place in Glory. She is
singing with the Saints and Angels. People came from as far away as
Ohio, Illinois, Georgia, South Carolina, etc. to her funeral. I
would like to share one more short scripture verse from I Samuel
20:18, "and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty."
MOM cannot come back to us, nor would we call her back if we could.
David said of the baby he lost, "He can't come to me but I can go to
him."
So MOM is receiving the welcome of eternity. Did you know that
there are folks on the other side who have been waiting for this
moment? Their happiness now is as great as our sorrow! MOM occupied
the seat of a Christian.
Her testimony was great. She was loving,
faithful, considerate, understanding, caring, attentive, and
compassionate. She was always glad to pray for needs. MOM occupied
the seat of a MOTHER. Proverbs 31:10-31. This seat is now empty.
Children who have such a parent as we had, need to thank God daily.

Mom liked to shop at Kmart in 2010 with Tony.
This love will remain for the rest of your life.
No one can take away the memories. They are precious to us for the
rest of our lives.
Her prayers will continue to follow us
everywhere we will go. MOM occupied the seat of a Faithful WIFE.
A wife that my DAD always honored and
respected. MOM occupied the seat of a Faithful Friend. She kept the
faith with her friends.
All the flowers, cards and emails from every
continent of the world and people, speak to that fact. She was
always happy and glad to see you and minister faith to you.

She did not want flowers but rather that people
would give to missions. At this writing we have received over $2,000
to purchase buildings for churches in her memory.
She bought one of
the first, 18 years ago for $300 in Ukraine. It was one of the first
of 177 buildings purchased for churches in the former USSR.

If MOM would come back to earth
for a few moments, I would ask her a few questions. Perhaps these
are the answers I think she would give.
Tony: Mama...
1. Tell me of Heaven?
2. Tell me, what was the greatest
site you saw?
3. What words would you tell us?
4. What would you tell your friends, enemies, if you had them and
strangers?
5. What would tell the ministers to do?
6. MOM, I am your
SON, I preached your funeral service, and what do you want me to do? Mother I know your heart but you have worked with my brother and I
and our wives in a worldwide ministry for 50 years. What one thing
would you like me to do?
7. Would there be one more message from you if you
were here?
Mom:
1.
I cannot. It is too wonderful!
2. Jesus!
3. Serve Jesus!
4. Jesus is wonderful! Please do not miss heaven, I cannot
describe it’s GLORY!
5. Evangelize and teach their people to evangelize.
6.Son, invite people to receive Christ! Keep
winning souls.
7. Yes, do not miss heaven. I will be waiting for you.
Mother, we won’t miss it. Heaven is so real! Jesus said that He was
going to prepare a place for us.

her body will rise to meet her spirit.
The most important thing that you
and I can do is to make sure that we are prepared to go when death
calls us. The question is not; when will death come to me? For none
of us knows that, yet we know it will come. So the question must be,
am I ready to meet Jesus when death does come?
Mother’s death was a
graduation. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to
face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am
known (I Corinthians 13:12).
And the question we must ask is, do we
have that eternal life? (John 11:25 KJV) Jesus said unto her, I am
the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he
were dead, yet shall he live:(26) And whosoever liveth and believeth
in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
God loves you, He sees
your needs, let Him meet your need. Lean on Him, today and everyday.
Trust in God and let Him turn your fears into faith, your sorrows
into joy, your doubts into certainty, your loneliness into Divine
companionship.
Jesus said, "peace I give you, not as the world giveth, let not your heart be troubled, neither be afraid, trust in
God"
Thank you for your prayers. Marge and I will keep on with the
message.
