On Friday March 22nd our wonderful Lord took his daughter, my mother, home to be with him. Her name was Murlene Engebretsen here on earth. Now she knows by what special name he calls her (revelation 2:17).
She had the reputation of loving everyone she met. Her last four years of life on earth were filled with doctor visits and trips to the hospital. She lived in constant pain and had to take medication for relief. Yet in every hospital stay she wrote thank you cards to every nurse and doctor.
Yes she had times of fear. Yes she had faults. That is because she was human. But she knew the grace of God and lived dependent on it. People loved her as do all her descendants.
Please pray for my father as he walks with our Lord through the extremely painful grieving process. They were married for 65 years and his world feels empty without her. He loved her so.
His name is Martin Engebretsen.
Thank You,
Shirley Fay
