December 21st, 2012, around noon, my mother in law passed away. She is in no more pain and I know she is rejoicing in Heaven. She accepted Christ at a Kroeze Brothers Crusade in Coulee Dam back in mid 70’s. She was actually born near Colville, Wa. She moved to Columbia Heights in Wenatchee, in 2009. They treated her very well, and I think we gained many friends there as well. Before that, she lived in the same house in Coulee Dam for over 50 years- it was tough on her to say good bye to her two dogs and having to move to Wenatchee. Her stubbornness helped when we almost lost her twice in the Emergency rooms. Christmas will be different yes, but it would be selfish to not rejoice with her being in Heaven. I am glad many of her kids could be with her during her last week- she really rallied that day when they were by her side. She had 9 kids- and all have been so helpful and supportive. She had 28 grandkids and 45 great grandkids as well when she passed away; that she was so proud of as well. She liked to read and do puzzles in her spare time and I loved playing Phase 10 and Yahtze with her. We enjoyed going with her on the Lady of the Lake and to Smallwoods, several years ago. She also would attend church with us when she could. Her home was ready for her- mine is still being prepared for me- that is a promise in the Bible. Christians need not say Goodbye, just "See you on the other side".
