My Auntie Lova

I have SO many special people in my life, but I have to say one of the most dear to my heart is my Auntie Lova. She is my Mother's sister, and the closest person to a second mother to me.
Sadly to say, my Aunt Lova passed away last Saturday September 5, 2009.
Sad, because she will be missed by us all here on earth. My cousin Lee, her son, has lost his mother. He is a wonderful, loving man, and Aunt Lova loved him more then anything else in the world. He protected her, and took care of her the last years of her life.

I woke up Saturday morning at 4:00 am and listened the pouring rain coming down. I felt wide awake and enjoyed the soothing sound of rain falling and the fresh smell carried by a gentle breeze blowing through my window. As I lay in my bed cuddled with my warm comforter I thanked Jesus for the cross and the rain. I felt His warm touch on my shoulder and I knew He was there. Contented as I fell back to sleep asking Him to watch over my children and granddaughters and family, I fell back to sleep.

At 11:00 am that same morning, my Mother called and told me my Auntie Lova had passed away at 4:00 am that morning.

Auntie Lova knew God, and she spoke of Jesus always. Her last days on earth she talked about "precious Jesus" and said she wanted to go be with Him. She had no fear. She knew Jesus was coming to take her by the hand and lead her home.
That is what made her so special in my heart. Aunt Lova never doubted for a second that Jesus is Savior.

Auntie Lova gave me my first bible. I cherrish it and it is the only bible I like to read from.

I love you Aunt Lova. I have many beautiful fun memories of you that live on in my heart. I look forward to being with you again.

God bless.
