In August, I attended the retirement party for my former co-worker and beloved friend, Kay, which I posted about here.
Today, I attended the memorial service for her. Kay would have been absolutely overwhelmed and astounded at the tribute to her. She was a true and faithful servant who deserved the honor she was given at both her retirement party and her going home celebration today. She is in the very best place now and the memories everyone had to share of her impact in their lives was truly amazing. I learned so much from her about grace, love and forgiveness. Galatians 2:20 was her mantra and she truly lived this prayer.

I know it is sad for you, but also a blessing to attend the service honoring her and her strong faith. God bless youl
I am always so sad when someone who just retired doesn't get to enjoy that retirement for years and years to come. It sounds like your dear friend was loved by many, including Jesus. May she rest in the peace of that love! I'm sorry for your loss.
God bless her...
That is the verse my son is memorizing this week.
So sorry for the loss of your friend. I love that her service was called a 'Going Home Party,' because that's what it is. It's so much better than the word, 'funeral.'
Nonnie, I am shocked that your friend has passed. Please accept my condolences. Thankful she is with the Lord. Hugs to you dear friend. Bless you, xoxo, Susie
You mean she retired less than a month ago and has passed away. Oh my goodness that sounds sad - but wonderful in the fact she was a Christian and is now with the Lord.
Nonnie,
How sad that she just retired and was unable to enjoy her retirement.... I am so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and her family and friends. Big hugs!
Blessings,
Jill
