My friend Margaret, whom I inteviewed, has passed into Paradise.
Hello, Beautiful Homemakers!
I just came home from attending lovely Margaret's funeral. She was 96 years old. When I last saw her a few weeks ago she was as chipper and sweet as ever. She slipped into eternity last week in her sleep, in her own bed, at home. For those of you who enjoyed her story, I thought you'd like to know.
She was a true, frugal homemaker, raising 6 children in a tiny home with a big yard, right near a railroad track. She had the best orange and lemon trees. Several of her children spoke at the service, as well as a man who says he inserted himself into their family as a kid and never left. He testified to her scrumptious cooking, and many remarked on her Proverbs 31 ways.
When I asked her for her favorite Bible verses about marriage, she said she had two chapters she lived by: Ephesians 5 and 1 Peter 3.
This past year she and her daughter have been attending Sunday morning church with us and I will miss her sweet face and gentle spirit. She has been reunited with her Lord, her husband, and her two children who entered heaven before her.
What a beautiful woman! I've never seen her without that smile!
May God bless you, dear ladies! Focus on what TRULY matters.
