Thank you all who have prayed for My daughter during her battles with cancer. Tina went home to be with the Lord yesterday, Feb., 23rd at 2:20 PM.
Our hearts are heavy, but the Spirit says, "all is well".
A few more days and we will also gather together in "that Holy City over yonder" and we will "sit down with my Jesus and rest a little while". The midnight is past and a new day is dawning.
Thank God for the lessons I have learned these last three years.
The last 24 hours will be remembered as some of the greatest I have ever experienced. Writing her last words to different friends and love ones, Singing some old hymns as I held her had at 3 in the morning, comforting her with scriptural promises. Holding her hand as her mother held the other while her children, brothers, family and friends stood round the bed as her spirit departed the old body of flesh. Watching her brother lift his hands in worship unto God in such a time is something money cannot buy.
Now life goes on and we must continue the good fight of faith until our time to go comes upon us.
Stand fast brethern, Heaven will be worth it all. Snooky
sorry to hear that Tina has passed, but love knowing that you all will be reunited in heaven one day is a great blessing...will be keeping you and family in prayer

I am blessed to see how you are seeing this as the homegoing that it is. It's awesome that you and your family can know that you will see her again when you join her in glory. Still, it is a sad time for you all while you wait here and for that, I will pray for you and your family brother. May God bless and comfort you during the coming days.

Very sorry to hear of the loss of your daughter snooky. I am glad she knew the Lord and that you have that assurance. I remember when my dad passed away a few years ago unexpectedly. I remember staying awake most of the night with the verse from Job going over and over in my mind; "The Lord giveth and The Lord taketh away, Blessed be the Name of the Lord." Sounds strange I know, but it was all I kept thinking.
Blessings upon your family.....Pastorjim

Deeply sorry to hear of Tina's passing, but joyful that she is with the Lord. Having Jesus in the midst of such a trial is great comfort. Thank you Snooky for your witness.
Liz and I will continue to pray for the family.

Thanks a lot. True botherly love one to another doesn't mean we must agree, or withhold our views when discussing the scriptures. The true love shines through everytime one faces a dificult time. It is then that the family of the redeemed rallies with prayer and support.
