Homecoming

Today we celebrated the life of a virtuous woman: my grandmother, "Ma Wick" (May 23, 1921-February 26, 2011). (You can read her obituary here.) The pastor described her as a "Proverbs 31" kind of woman. Here are a few verses from that chapter:

20: She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
25: She is clothed with strength and dignity
26: She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
28: Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29: "Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”
31: Honor her for all that her hands have done,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

Beautiful pictures of the family and Mrs. Wicker. What great memories you will have of her with her great grandchildren.

Memories are made from these, she'll never be forgotten-forever in our hearts.
