Her Children Arise Up and Call Her Blessed...Proverbs 31:28

My Precious Grandmother, Marie Dickey, received her eternal healing last Tuesday night as she left this earth and entered the pearly gates of Heaven. She no longer is trapped in an earthly body with a mind that no longer recognized her loved ones and friends, but instead, she is preparing banquet tables for Heavenly feasts in Glory---she must be one of the best cooks in Heaven right now, I suppose!!
On Saturday, all of her family and friends attended her "Home-going". Those who were present at her funeral and even the funeral home staff told our family they had never been to such a service. Even those that did not know her prior to that day, felt as if they DID as they left that day. It was truly a celebration of her life and a tribute to the legacy she left behind of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren whom she made sure knew her "Lovely Lord" as she called Him. Each of her six children spoke at the service recalling memories from the past, and her children, and grandchildren sang also. I am sure Granny Ree was extremely proud and honored as she watched from above. We are all so happy for her that she is now free from Alzheimer's disease and walking on streets of gold with PaPa Dickey enjoying all the splendor of Heaven. As her family we do "arise up and call her blessed."
