Chris, a strong soldier for our Lord, has ended her time here on earth and moved on to a new beginning. God, who is so gracious, sanctioned her beginning and the finishing of her race. She ran well, kept the Faith and hopefully, waiting in the presence of our God, waiting for the resurrection. I thank God for our relationship, our fun times spent here on earth. It has truly been a pleasure and an honor, to have crossed paths with her. We shared a laugh recently, while in Walmart. I walked over towards her, while she was looking down, I believe she must have seen the lower part of me, she looked up and said, “I knew that was you”, guess I was the only one in the store with stockings and a skirt on. I loved Chris and I believe she knew it. My prayer is that, I, too, will hope until the end, be ‘STRONG’ in the Faith, die in the Lord, be resurrected unto life, and forever reign with God and those who will live with God eternally!
