\n\n\n\nWhilst this is not the place for personal blogging, some of you will want to know of, and a few of you will have met my mother I thought I should say something here. When Abraham was living in Mamre1<\/a><\/sup> near the Dead Sea, three men visited him. He welcomed them and they honoured him by eating with him. Two of them walked on. One remained behind to speak with Abraham about the reasons for their visit. My mother attained ninety-nine years in November, and on Sunday past whilst we waited by her bed-side, two such men visited her. The District Nurse had not long left. We did not see them, nor hear their footsteps, but she left the house with them to be taken to her eternal home. Though we did not see them come or go, they left her body without breath, so that we would know they had been.
The One who remained to speak with Abraham later said: In my Father’s house are many rooms. I go to prepare a place for you, and if I go to prepare a place for you, I shall return to take you to myself.2<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blog.purechocolate.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/143_Maisie_May_1946-Small-757x1024.jpg\")
<\/figure>\nShe was a good mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and great-aunt to many as well as a friend and wife to Bill<\/a>. We thank God for her many years, and for giving her grace to persevere in weakness, illness and pain in her last days.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
