In November we were able to move in with this sweet lady her name is Ordella Mathews. She needed help with her yard, driving her places, and just a little company. And we agreed for cheaper rent and to for the opportunity to serve someone... little did we know we would be the ones who were blessed. Sweet Ordella passed away on Sunday July 25th after complications following a surgery. In the short time we were able to know her she blessed our lives beyond measure. She tragically lost both of her sons in seperate accidents and not long after her husband. Yet she carried on knowing the Savior was by her side and she didn't have to do it alone. She was a great example to me of faith and perseverance. It is very surreal that she is not coming back 'home' and we won't see her again in this life. I just wanted to post how grateful we feel for the opportunity to know such a woman she was a blessing to all who knew her and will be greatly missed.
This is the most recent happening in our lives our apartment was lent out to family for a few weeks permanently over the weekend so thanks to Sweet Tyrel & Elena we popped in last minute for a spendee and stayed up way too late and they watched Dex THANK YOU SO MUCH! And thanks to Shells and JL for letting us have a spendee another night. We are Blessed and Ordella will be greatly missed!
