Early last Wednesday morning, my mom, Annemarie Murdock, was received into the church triumphant. A baptized child of our Father, she closed her eyes to this life and opened them to see Christ.
We saw her just last night. My wife reminded her that we loved her, that we would be OK, and if she was ready to be with Jesus, we were ready to say “see you later”.
We hurt. But we hope and believe.
My mother is not dead. She lives. Praise be to God. She is with her Lord, who is the resurrection and the life. That is our confidence and our consolation.
