Jacquie and Grandma Eunie share a special moment near the end.
Son in law Adam looks on.

We came home to Worthy Wilderness to provide Hospice care for Jacquie's 92 year old mother who left to join the Lord last SAT. Eunice Bivins Rife was a grand Christian lady who taught everyone the true meaning of service and humility to the very end.

Not being able to eat, she still sent me on a 'doughnut run' so that she could enjoy seeing everyone else relishing the world famous Ideal Bakery cream sticks.

She will be sorely missed by our four children, 11 grandchildren as well as everyone else in the clan.

Services will be WED 11 AM. It will be very hard for me to be in that church again singing Amazing Grace once more.

I know there are people in your life that you need to share some special moments with right now. Go see them. Give them a call. Do not put it off. We will cherish these final moments forever. Jacquie's beloved Father went so quickly, she could not get back in time to say good bye. Euine was able to orchastrate her journey; all the children and grandchildren save ove was able to get back to say goodbye. That's special.

Blessings to you all.
