Heaven is not so far away.
She most likely will be with Jesus today.
There’s no longer a need for her to explore.
We wonder if she can hear Heaven roar.
*
A good, long life of over eighty-five years
Memories, sarcasm, laughter, with a few tears
Children, grandchildren and great-grands
Says she’s ready for Jesus to show her His plans.

Privileged and honored I’ve been welcomed as family.
Married to her only son I am part of their tapestry.
Only God knows when He is truly ready for her.
We do know for certain that King Jesus is near.
My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.” John 14:2-4 (NIV)
We love you Mom, aka Babu, aka Barbara, aka beautiful!
Thank you for your prayers during this tender and beautiful transition. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers more than words can convey! You truly bless us greatly.
