When you lose someone, you start reflecting on your own life and your relationships. I've been doing a lot of reflecting today.
John's aunt, Martha's sister, died this morning. She was older and it was not unexpected. But it has caused me to think of my own sister and how much I love and appreciate her, even in all of our many differences! I can't imagine losing Kristi, and so I feel for my mother-in-law. To make it more difficult for her, she is the Harding Lectureship Coordinator ... and Lectureship begins Sunday. Please pray for her and the decisions she will be making over the next couple of days.
Jan Jones also went on to be with our Maker early this morning. My heart breaks for Craig, Rees and Elaine. Jan fought a six month battle with pancreatic cancer before it was finished. One of my great joys is playing the piano at home to relax and relieve stress. I wouldn't be able to play at all if it weren't for the three years I spent as Jan's student! Then, she accompanied me for a couple of different auditions, and was always so complimentary and encouraging! And we had fun "cutting up" during Spring Sing rehearsals as she worked with the hosts and hostesses. It's so hard to believe that she's gone. I can only imagine the applause of heaven as Jan finished her grand concert before God!

Kim - I'm so sorry about your recent losses. It's also really hard when you lose two people very close together. My grandmother and Eric's grandmother died within a month of each other and I remember how emotionally wiped I was.
You and your family will be in our prayers. Love you!
Well said, Kim. They will both be missed.
Thanks for what you said, Kim. You mean a lot to me too--can't imagine you not being there. Thanx for being my sister. ^_^
You always say things so nicely! I know you are a special sister to your siblings! Love you! L
