This weekend

Good morning to all,

We have endured one the longest weekends that I can ever imagine. First of all, Mother is still maintaining low, but stable vital signs. On Saturday morning, the nurses called the entire family around 430 am. They said gave us the word that "it would not be long". Mother is still breathing today. She has grown to a very weak woman, but she has to be the most determined and strongest person that I know. God has given us the peace that she will no longer be with us, but she is showing everyone what she is made of. What breaks my heart even more is to tell my children and Kena's children that they need to speak to their Mimi without her responding to them. They all told her how they loved her and how much they missed her. Hopefully, the Lord allowed her to hear them. They are a very important piece of her life! I have learned more in the past months than I have in a while. When you run to the Lord, during tough times, then you will find the strength and comfort.

Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."


God Bless,
Keith

I wish there was a way to ease the pain and sadness in all of your hearts. I am just in awe of the strength of Sue and of each and every one of you. God bless those grandchildren who loved their Mimi so dearly. It is so hard for them to ever understand but each of you will keep Sue forever in their hearts and lives.

God bless you all and thank you, Keith and Kena, for keeping us up to date.

Prayers and love to all,
Kathy Robinson

Precious Lord, take my hand,
Lead me on, let me stand,
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn;
Through the storm, through the night, Precious Lord take my hand.
We are praying for the Lord to take each of you by the hand.
Love in Christ-

Dearest Keith hand family,
I am deeply saddened by the news of your mother and uncle. Yet, I am amazed at the work you are allowing the Lord to do in your life. Your mother has done her job well. And for you, I pray this
In His kindness God called you to share in His eternal glory by way of Jesus Christ. After you have suffered a little while HE will restore, support and strengthen you and He will place you on a firm foundation. 1Peter 5:10
In HIS Precious Name,
Beth Walker-Hertweck
