It's so good to be able to celebrate her homecoming into heaven yet I'll miss her deeply as my wonderful mom and friend. She was a hoot. She had been ready to be with Jesus a long while now, and of course, to be with my dad, William "Bill" Bird, and Julie (my beautiful sister whom we all miss as well.) She blessed my life so much, as well as many others. She wanted everyone to know that Salvation in Christ is real and that Jesus paid it all (paid the cost of your sins and mine at the cross, giving forgiveness and eternal life to those who believe). God loves you like crazy and invites you too to accept Him into your heart and let Him be your Lord and Savior. She asked me to share this as she had prayed for many of you, daily, over the years. I'll miss her prayers, and her, so very much.
She must have been a truly exceptional woman. She never met me, yet she gave me one of the finest people I've ever met in my life, as my friend for nearly 30 years now. I have prayed to God to grant her eternal rest in heaven!
