“The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God,
and no torment shall touch them.
They seemed, in the view of the foolish, to be dead;
and their passing away was thought an affliction
and their going forth from us, utter destruction.
But they are in peace.
For if to others, indeed, they seem punished,
yet is their hope full of immortality;
Chastised a little, they shall be greatly blessed,
because God tried them
and found them worthy of himself.
As gold in the furnace, he proved them,
and as sacrificial offerings he took them to himself.
In the time of their judgment they shall shine
and dart about as sparks through stubble;
They shall judge nations and rule over peoples,
and the LORD shall be their King forever.” -Wisdom 3:1-8
the Beloved beckoned His little one to come to Him and share her Master’s Joy last night. Mimi is finally free of all the pain and suffering, and is wrapped in the Arms of her Dearest Love. She can see, dance, sing, and rejoice, unfettered for eternity. Blessed be Jesus Christ Who made this possible. She was claimed for Christ at her Baptism and He came to get His own last night. It was peaceful, and my momma was by her side.

“Or are you unaware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life.
For if we have grown into union with him through a death like his, we shall also be united with him in the resurrection.We know that our old self was crucified with him, so that our sinful body might be done away with, that we might no longer be in slavery to sin.For a dead person has been absolved from sin. If, then, we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him” Romans 6: 3-7
I love and miss you and can't wait to see you again, Mimi.
I am very sorry Elisa. May God bless you and your family at this time. Be assured of our prayers for you and our hope that you will find comfort in memories of your special relationship with Mimi and of the happy times spent together.
