Preparing for Florida travels… And thinking about that city where the roses never fade.

Greetings from Mom & me! We hope you’re doing well. We are preparing for our trip to Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida that will happen shortly after Thanksgiving. We will be there a few days for several followup appointments Mom has there. Please pray for us to have safe travels and for her to get good reports.

(And if you feel compelled to give a little gas money, we do continue to keep Mom’s fund open. The links are still on this website.)

A few weeks ago, some of our church friends gave us these beautiful roses.

Roses always make me think of one of my all-time favorite gospel songs about Heaven… “Where The Roses Never Fade.” Below you’ll find a rendition of this song with a dear friend of mine, Margaret Frost. She’s been in Heaven several years now, and another sweet friend of The Family Fold joined her there this month. Our little Mary Anne crossed over. Please especially remember her best friend/sister in your prayers, Myrtle.

Peace, prayers, & blessings as you get ready for the Thanksgiving holiday. Know that we are grateful for you!

“I am going to a city where the streets with gold are laid, where the tree of life is blooming, and the roses never fade. Here they bloom but for a season. Soon their beauty is decayed. But I am going to a city where the roses never fade.”
