One of our oldest and dearest friends went on to be with the Lord this weekend. I cannot say enough about this lovely Christian lady to express how much she meant to our family. God gives us all talents, and hers were with children. She grieved for children to her very soul. She would sit and rock a crying or sick baby for hours and hours, or days if need be.. until it was comforted.
She had the patience of Job on one hand, and quick justice on the other. When you walked into her home you were instantly surrounded by the love of the Lord. Her home was a place of peace and tranquity...you could walk in after a rough day and just lay down on a pallette in the living room and rest. She always had a place of rest.
She was there when I was a teenager going off to college in a new town. Her daughter is the one that introduced me to Bob. She was there for me as a new wife and mother. She was there for me through 4 children and 3 cancer scares.
I hope and pray that I was a blessing to her. I loved her as a second mother. Thank you, Mrs Gooch.
Well, I Certainly Need to Update!
