God Bless.

She obviously lived for her children...all of her children. God bless her in full measure.

Her life’s mission and purpose were done. And the Good Lord retired her right on schedule.
To: AngieGal
Her work here was finished and in grand fashion. As hard as it is to see this happen to anyone (My brother at age 40) she, like my brother, had a Divine Appointment.
Lord, Bless and keep her family and all whom she touched.

It seems as though the Lord kept her until her job was done.

She heard the words,
"Well done, thou good and faithful servant!" -- as she began her well-earned (and eternal) retirement in the most wonderful retirement community imaginable...
Not a bad way to go. Not bad at all...

Remember many years ago when 40 was “old”?

“Her husband and son both died within about the last year.”
Too much stress. She should have kept teaching. It might have held her together.
