My Aunt Pam


Well, my Aunt is finally pain free. She passed away on February 23, 2010. The night before her passing my mom told me Aunt Pam kept trying to get out of bed and go find Jesus; I thought that was really sweet..she knew who she was meeting and she was ready to go. Her funeral was a very nice service. I was able to keep myself together; knowing where she is helped me a lot. I have no doubt in my mind that we will be reunited one day. I played the piano for her in the middle of the service; it was an arrangement of Be Still My Soul by Jeff Bjorck. Wow, what a peaceful song! I felt the Holy Ghost surround me when my fingers hit the piano. That particular hymn has special meaning to me and I felt that everyone attending the funeral needed to feel how I felt. Heavenly Father has a plan, a plan for each and everyone of us; our job is to be still and know that God is in control. "Be still my soul, the Lord is on thy side. Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain; Leave to thy God to order and provide; In every change He faithful will remain." What beautiful words to hold in our hearts.


Anyway, this song meant so much to me, so I wanted to dedicate it to my beautiful Aunt Pam and my family (her parents and sisters). They had no control over what happened, but what they do have is the promise that God will always be with them to provide comfort and peace.
