Friends and Family: Jacque went to be with Jesus today at 2:55 pm. She waited for 30 hours until her brother Bob could join her family here. She died within minutes of hearing his voice. She died with tears of happiness in her eyes. Praise our King and His Love.

...she was so brave during this; she ministered to us without even being about to talk. It was a very powerful two days of being in God's presence.

Jacque's Friends and Family: I wanted to give everyone an update on Jon and my plans -
Mom had always requested a cremation because she believed that the body didn't mean anything after the spirit departed. For those of us in the room when she died, we all are in complete agreement. She raced out of that tired body and followed those angels right into the presence of God. Once she knew her business here was taken care of, she ran right into Jesus arms.
So we would like to have a celebration of her life after my brother comes home from Dubai at the end of November. He also has a new baby due on Nov. 23rd, so lots going on. We will work on finding a place large enough for everyone and think sometime in the first 10 days of December would be best. If there are certain blackout dates that people will not be able to attend, please reply to this email and let me know. We will do our best to pick a date where most can attend.
Please feel free to send this email string to others who may not know of Jacque's passing and would like to join her celebration.
Also, feel free to send cards to Jon's family too. His address is : Mine is:

God has been so gracious to us during this process. I didn't realize this until the day she died, but Jesus has actually answered a long-term prayer of mine for Mom. For the last couple of years, I have been fervently praying for healing for Mom's heart and body, and that God would relieve her suffering. Many times I asked my Father and told Him that I felt that she had suffered enough. In my mind, I was always thinking of physical healing as I prayed. But I was never really sure that He would act. Well, our view is so temporal, and I never thought that His answer might be even more gracious then I could hope. His answer to all my prayers (and others too I am sure) was to give her a beautiful new body and a restored heart and mind in the Joy of His Kingdom. As her spirit left, my Uncle John saw her as a little girl running home with all her beautiful curly hair blowing about her.
Very early that morning as I spent time alone with my seemingly unconscious Mom, I asked if she could show me a little bit of where she was going after she got there - to ease my heart and strengthen my faith. Later, after she died and was I was driving home from the hospital, I felt a Joy so overwhelming that I could not stop spontaneously laughing, smiling, and giving praise. This Joy in me lingered for hours after. I know this Joy was her gift to me - a small glimpse of what she felt as she entered the presence of all Truth and Reconciliation. His Grace and Love is so overwhelming to us.
