“Absent from the body, present with the Lord”
Growing up just 2 houses down from the Jordan Family holds so many fond memories for me . I spent many days in, and around their home . Playing, and eating the delicious bake goods, and food shared . Margaret “Sooke” as she was affectionately called became even more dear to me when she expressed her concern for me, and my family during the illness, and subsequent transitioning of my mom, and later my daughter . I will always cherish the phone calls, and loving messages she sent me . You can rest now our dear Sooke….you did run this race well….
Timothy 4:7-8 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith . Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness .
