Funeral For Elderly Christian Woman

we will be with the Lord Jesus Christ forever. To me,

that's what makes heaven so wonderful.

When our lives are focused upon Christ, we can be

sure that one day, we will walk in glory with Him.

Oh, we grieve the death of a loved one but the death of

a Christian is a wonderful thing! For the battle is over

and Christ has won the victory over death for us.

___________ is no longer subject to time, as we know

it, and the next thing she will see is her Savior's face. A

person doesn't go to heaven to find Christ, they go to

Christ to find heaven!

This scripture in John is the greatest promise of hope

that Jesus ever made.

When we focus our lives on Jesus, we will walk hand in

hand with Him in victory. Jesus takes care of your past,

your present, and He has already prepared your future.

I am thankful that I can count ______________ as my

personal friend. As ____________ pastor these past 2

years, I have known her as a kind, gentle, not so soft

spoken woman who was at peace and very much

content with her life.

The other day, when we realized the __________ was

close to death, I went and prayed with her and she was

patting my hand and I leaned in and told her to hold the

door for me when she get's to heaven.

She looked at me and smiled and kissed me on the

cheek. I believe she was telling me, "Steve, you're my

pastor, but you're also my friend!"

She would always make you feel at good and bless

your heart with her warm smile and friendship.

________ wasn't wealthy, but she gave her family and

friends something much more precious that wealth.

She gave her unconditional love and devotion freely

and was always concerned for others.

She became the protector and guide for her friend

_____ at the nursing home because _____ couldn't

see very well and could hear less then she could see.

You always knew that if _________ said she would do

something, she would. She was always good for what

she promised. Now, God has completed His promises

to _________.

____________ reassured me, before God called her,

that she was secure in the hands of our wise and

merciful God.

I pray that each of you here are resting assured in the

knowledge that you're going home one day to your

mansion just as _________ was.

May our God of mercy and peace help us today to

continue to find our comfort and strength in Him. And

may God bless the memory of ______________, who

loves God and will dwell with Him eternally.
