gentle soul possessed of quiet strength
her name, Faith, was her legacy to all
who witnessed her living…and dying.
she was familiar with pain and heartache:
her husband, seriously disabled in an accident,
needed nursing care ’til his death left her a widow.
her precious twin granddaughters lived only briefly,
she herself suffered multiple sclerosis and cancer.
yet she clung to promises in God’s eternal Word,
and at sixty-one years young, she has received the
reward of an undying faith in her faithful Lord.
You took her up into Your presence: her faith is now sight!
“Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” (John 20:29b)
