Elisabeth van der Jagt
My OMA
December 2, 1920 - March 15, 2009
Oh, the joy I imagine she has at this time, seeing and living in a place she has only pined for these nearly 90 years. The comfort of her Father's love and His nearness of presence.
This is a sad time, but incredibly joy-filled too.
We will meet again.
Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time. I'm so thankful to have met and gotten to know your Oma a little bit. She was such a special lady!
I once (not long ago) was where you are, facing the loss of a beloved grandmother. There was much sadness but such great comfort in knowing that she was now walking by sight and not just by faith. What joy to know that we will indeed be reunited with our loved ones someday!
Many (((HUGS))) to you, my dear friend.
My heart aches for you. Praying for your comfort and HOPE!!
