We have chosen a memorial fund in lieu of lots of flowers. Mom was close with many at the Liberty Mills Church that are involved in a ministry in Guatamala. Currently they are raising money for a well. Checks can be written to the Liberty Mills Church of the Brethren for the Guatamala Well Fund. Maybe it'll be named the Ardie Well.

GOD HAS MADE A WAY!

Glory be to God.

Mom went to be with the Lord this morning.

Yes it's true. It's difficult to believe. We don't know what happened. However I did not feel right about everything last night. I kept much of it to myself to not worry others. I thought it was just my irrational fears.

Last night was mom's worst night. While she talked to us and knew us, she was not really there. Now I know the Lord was calling her. She was so ready to go. Her only worry was Rex, but we will still be standing with him, as a family. This does not change that.

I want you to know that I feel this was for the best. All along I did not like the way Mom was. Us 3 kids got to see her before surgery. All of us saw her after surgery. There is no regrets.

Last night she was singing with some praise songs on the CD.

More will follow later when arrangements are made.

There is no doubt that she is in a better place. She is free from her sickly body. She's walking upright and in no pain.

Ryan, Randy, Ronna, and Rex
