My mother passed from this life to her eternal

home in Heaven. To those of you who new my

mother, thank you for being her friend. For those

who may not have know her, I sure wish you

could have been acquainted. She was a very

special lady, a portrait of a Godly woman. Her

life of sacrifice, love, and unending forgiveness

pointed many to Jesus Christ !

So, we celebrate her salvation when she

accepted the Lord, and because of that, we

celebrate her eternal life with God.

Jesus said: “I go to prepare a place for you,

and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will

come again and receive you unto myself, that

where I am there you may be also.”

Where Jesus is, My mom is also!

One of her greatest hopes was being able

to join her loved ones who have gone on before

her. But most of all, her hope was that of

seeing Jesus face-to-face.

Mom has moved to her eternal home in heaven,

but what a heritage she left! Her heart and

hands were always open. She saw the good in

everything and everyone and she wanted us to

do the same. She was a woman of great

courage who faced every problem with

confidence and complete reliance upon her

ever-present Lord!

She enjoyed camping, horseback riding,

redoing, drawing, raising kids, horses

and puppies. Later in life her she enjoyed

watching her grandson and his friends play

baseball on a team called “Sure Cut Lawn

Care.” It wasn’t long before she became known

as Gramma to everyone on the team.

One of my mother’s great milestones is when

she was denied a job because she never

graduated from high school. So at 79 years of

age she returned to Derby High School (Go

Panthers) to finish school and get her diploma.

Did I fail to mention how strong willed she was.

And when she set her mind on something there

was no stopping her.

She drove a school bus for 15 years which

completed her long list of gifts and talents.

I know there will be times when the memory

Of Mary Lou Hill and what she said and did

will inspire all of us to do better.

This is God’s love shown to us-through her…

and it will affect how we live. What a privilege

It is to be her children, grandchildren, and

friends.
