Mom is Home in Heaven

One day before her 80th birthday Tim's mom is home in heaven.  We are so grateful for God's gracious timing as all my siblings were able to be home with Mom & Dad a month before her home going - this one the first time in 15 years we had all been together at the same time.  The Lord took her in an amazing way.  Around 1:30am on June 19th Dad heard a noise and got up to check on Mom, he came out into the hallway and asked her how she was, she simple raised both hands high over her head as she stood there, much as a small child would do as they asked to be picked up by there father.  They she went into the arms of her Lord & Savior!  She is now pain free and happier than she could ever imagine!

There will be a memorial service, celebrating the life of Maxine Estelle Laughlin this coming Tuesday, June 26th at Dufur Christian Church in Dufur, Oregon starting at 3:00pm.  If you happen to be in the area you are welcomed to join in the celebration.
