This thread is a wonderful tribute to our precious whoever. Thank you so much to Billie and ru for doing this. I need the kleenex, too. This woman definitely left footprints on my heart.

As a lot of you here know, ru4 and I are cousins and who always enjoyed our close relationship. I can still visualize her comment to us when she'd enter the chat room--"hullo cousins." Of course, we had to adopt her as our cousin, too. I loved the way she cared about us and our families. She prayed many, many prayers for my precious uncle (ru's daddy); my hubby, Mr. CC; and my mother, as who called her, Cousin Aunt Grace (Mother loves that).

Who was so caring and giving of herself, always. One afternoon, I received a call that our pastor's grandaughter had drowned. I immediately went into the chat room and told who what had happened because she was one of the strongest prayer warriors I knew. She was always honored and willing when we'd ask her to pray. And she didn't just pray about the situation, she would follow up on every prayer request.

Mr. CC came very close to dying in Feb. 2000, and who sent me the following. "ru told me immediately. I, of course, took it to the Lord right then and there. Isn't it wonderful that we can go directly to the Lord; we don't need an intecessor. He was waiting in the Garden for me. I believe God is working even now... I can't do many things, but, CC, I can and do pray. I make sure that I am always in a position to boldly approach the Throne of Grace... God knows our needs before we do, and He knows the intent of our hearts, I know that, but, I want to be with Him in prayer when it is needed...God bless you and keep you close to Him and give you His peace, enduring peace.
whoever" And she gave me her phone number to call in case of an emergency. Those who knew who, know what a privilege that was.

I always counted on her being in the chat room and it was so painful when she got too sick to be there anymore. The last time I talked to her was right before Christmas. Wasn't a real long conversation but it felt so good. Praise God that she's no longer in pain, that she's healthy and whole, and dancing before the Lord.

I love you, who, and I miss you so very much. It won't be much longer til Mr. CC will be joining you at the Throne. I know you'll be the official greeter when he gets there and I couldn't ask for anyone better.

Thank you, CC, for your sweet words. Whoever was a joy to many, and it was so nice reading how she touched others. Very nice to meet a cousin of ru's, and hope you'll be inclined to visit us again.

I am sorry to hear about your husband; it must be comforting to know, though, that your sweet friend/adopted cousin, whoever, will be among those to give him a warm welcome and show him around when he's ready to join them.
