Happy Birthday Mother in Heaven

Mother Judy
1940 - 2013
  I am going to be a great mother-in-law. How do I know? I learned from my own mother-in-love. She was always encouraging and never interfered. She asked me to call her mother years before her son proposed to me! She just loved and spoke me right into the family! I love her, and I miss her.

Judith Ann Benson Lane,
may her name be blessed forever!

  2. This is lovely, my dear friend. What a blessing she was and continues to be in your life. I was just talking about my Mum...Steve's mom, yesterday. She taught me to shake my clothes when I take them out of the washer before I put them into the dryer so they don't get as wrinkled. I still think of her every time I do!

Thanks for writing me back!

This life only works with Jesus. The next life is a continuation of this one—make sure you spend it with Jesus. Jesus is the only way to God the Father!
