Our condolences to the family of Loretta Greer, especially her husband, Darrell.
We have been so blessed to have known them both...they are dear friends...and we love them dearly...
Loretta always welcomed us with a big smile and open arms. She could make you laugh...and her laughter was contagious...you had to join in.
Visiting with them was so much fun...and definitely inspirational...I don't think we ever left without talking about the Lord...which they were both always willing to do. They were also wonderful about listening to your troubles...and would pray with you for your family and loved ones...they really cared.
They told us about a special place called "Rudd's Christmas Tree Farm" which was based on Jesus' life...we took them and had such a wonderful time! It was so special to be part of that place and when we saw the crucifixion it seemed so real...it broke all our hearts...that Jesus suffered because he loved us that much. We were glad of the little prayer altar...and took advantage of it...said a prayer...and were truly blessed by the Lord's spirit...Praise GOD!
We are really going to miss Loretta, but we know she's in a much better place...she's in Heaven with all her loved ones...her twins, her Mom and Dad, her brother, and all the other loved ones in her life...
She loved life, but she also looked forward to going to Heaven. She would not want us to grieve terribly, but would want us to rejoice because she's in the presence of God...I know she hated to leave us behind...but, she'll be waiting on us.
We'll see her again, when we get to Heaven...she'll welcome us with her big smile and open arms...as always...what a day that will be...
We'll miss her presence here on this earth, but we have a very special "Angel" watching over us now...her spirit lives on...
Heaven's glory shines before me,
I cannot linger here,
Although clouds may darken o'er me,
My Father's house is near.
The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are chldren of God. Romans 8:16
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all...
Ernie and Opal Collinsworth
