MARGARET TORONTO [4/16/2011]
To Paul Finlay and Family,
News of Betty’s sudden and short illness, then later death, brought shock to all our family; but in faith, I exclaimed,” Jesus loves her best”, a statement which will support you and me at this difficult time. You have lost a jewel, our gem, and heaven has won a precious soul. I have envisioned “Auntie Betty” as she was affectionately called, among the “Redeemed - washed like the snow and free from all sin”, having crossed over into Canaan’s fair and happy land, following a Sabbath School session of praise and gratitude to the worshipers and to God.
What a Glorious Transition!
We do not grieve as those without hope. Does Jesus Care? Yes! He cares! While He embraces Auntie Betty safely in His arms, He has promised to provide comfort for our tears and to be a light on our way. Never, will He leave us nor forsake us. God will take care of us. So be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. God is our refuge and strength, and a present help in time of trouble.
Let us keep faithful, because only such will we be able to meet Aunty Betty, “when the first trump of God shall sound and she shall rise”. Let us encourage ourselves in the Lord, for soon and very soon we are going to see the King and your lovely wife, with a new name and body without sickness or death. Our beloved Auntie Betty will be in that great reunion in heaven with all our faithful loved ones. As we grieve - a reflection of our love - we will keep you and the family in prayer for comfort and peace, as we go forward. Accept our condolences and sincere regrets.
With love and deepest sorrow.
I miss her hospitality, her winsome smile and that invitation to come to Grenada.
