What a long yet glorious day. We sat on the side of the chappel filled to capacity and watched as our hearts were filled listening to our oldest granddaughter McKensey give her farewell talk and sang two beautiful songs as her prelude into the mission home. She will be serving the Lord for the next 18 months in the Hondoras Mission. Feelings and emotions of that hour brought back so many memories. That same building, the same chapel where her mother Christine, our first daughter had her funeral services almost 2 years ago. Loosing a daughter to cancer was a very difficult trial. However, we came out triumphant. Our daughter raised 8 beautiful children, with McKensey being the oldest. Our son-in-law remaired Janiene and she has done a wonderful job in loving and caring for our grandchildren.
Some of the emotions and feeling as McKensey spoke were of being a pround parent and grandparent. Yes, McKensey is a wonderful young woman. We had the remarkable experience to have her live with us for a year as she worked up in our area. As I watched her speak I could see the countance of her mother. I know she was there, and will be with her on her mission. Oh how I enjoyed her being in our home. She made me feel young and she shared life through the eyes of a 21 year old.
McKensey your mother lives on through you.....as we are linked from generation to generation.
