Today we grieve with the parents of Georgette Tillett. The Lord had a plan for this beautiful young woman and ours is not to question why.
Georgie was struck by lightning and died instantly June 17. She was much loved and will be sadly missed. Her parents are Doug and Judi Tillett and Kimberly Weller.
We are breathlessly awaiting the birth of the son of Rudy and Shelly Robinson. The baby is expected any day. His big sister Santanya says, “He can’t be born June 26 ‘cause that is her day.” I love it! She will be three years old.
Corma Ann McNeil called to tell me that her great granddaughter, Emma Grace James, has her cast removed and is able to walk again— very carefully. Emma is a tiny, beautiful three-year-old.
I lunched with John and Heather Shortell and their three beautiful daughters at the Tri County Fair on Friday.
The Hazelgreen Cemetery Board met at the home of Roy and Shirley Henry on Friday evening. A very informal meeting and doesn’t last very long. Just one of those yearly duties.
Sandy Henry showed me a picture of her son Roger. Oh, my! He is all grown up and in the military, of course. He has had the questionable honor of serving in Iraq. Thank you, Roger and God bless YOU!!!
I attended the 80th birthday celebration in honor of Mary Lou Black Southard on Saturday. Sure was a nice crowd.
Mary Lou has a lovely family and is justifiably proud of them. I visited with Darlene Long in Evan’s one day last week.
Chatted with Darlene Gray at Evan’s, also. Her traveling partners were her great niece and nephew, Brooklyn and Houston Black. They are such neat kids. I hadn’t seen them for a while. They had really grown.
I enjoyed the short chat I had with Weldon’s lovely wife, Karol. She is a long time family friend. I have grown to love her as I do all my “near and dear.”
I ask for your prayers for all who are ill and those who grieve.
“The Broken Chain”
We little knew that morning that God would call your name.
In life we loved you dearly, in death, we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; But as God calls us one by one, the Chain will link again. —author unknown
’Till next time, as always, God bless!
