Donna was a member of the same Church in Texas as my wife and I many years ago. She got us used to praying out loud, which we had never done before. She knew she could never measure up on her own merit or works to be forgiven of sin or enter heaven. But she also knew Jesus had done that for her and whoever trusts what He did on the cross and His resurrection from death. She is definitely smiling, laughing and dancing in God's throne room right now!

The passing of a parent is so hard on those left behind. After reading Caitlin's post about her grandma, I know you will all get through this as she was a woman of great faith. Our condolences to the family and those she loved.
