In case you missed it, yesterday, (6/3/16), while visiting family in Massachusetts, my big sister (by 10 years), had a stroke, around 8am, and was brought to the hospital.
Then transferred to a bigger hospital and she passed on a little after 12 noon, the same day.
As far as I know, she never accepted Jesus into her life, and would always tell me not to talk about God around her.
A few years ago, while they were staying with us, I asked why she was so set against hearing about Jesus.
It seems when I was first saved, (late 79?), I would call her collect and tell her about Jesus, often enough to be a real pest.
I am not sure if it is Jesus or calling collect which bothered her more, but she would not speak about God or Politics since.
(me, mom, martha, the last time together at my house)
After I heard of her stroke, I prayed that Jesus would please give her another chance to accept him… I trust that He did.
In my youth she was my babysitter, by the time I was in my teens, I was a terrible example for her children.
We could not talk except for our pets or family, but I still enjoyed her company. I hope to see her at the resurection.
May she Rest In Peace.

I’m so sorry for your loss, but grateful she was visiting family at the time and that she went quickly, taking your prayers for salvation with her. May the Lord comfort you in your grief and be gracious to you.

Wow. We know from scripture that God’s word does not return void. I will continue to stand on that promise with you. May the Lord of Hope bring you peace that passes understanding. May His arms of comfort surround you for now and always.
Praying fervently in the Name of Jesus

She was your sister in whom you took delightin enough to point the Saviour too. I truly pray you meet at the resurrection too! May God’s peace envelope your heart.

thank you, When we had that discussion, I told her I loved her that was why I kept calling.
I think she knew.

I never met Martha directly, but she was indirectly The Archers fashion consultant. I remember you were the first one of us to show up in “hip huggers”, and when I saw them on me in the mirror you were the last.
I continue to mourn with you.
