Your blogger/reporter exchanged her hometown reporter role for Grand Aunt Jinny role.
The wedding of my nephew,Brett, was in Skaneateles, New York. I flew Jacksonville to Syracuse where family met me and we drove us to Lake Skaneateles, a beautiful place.
Time away was wonderfully cool and delightful, but just like it always is, There Is No Place Like Home.
I am sorry to have missed Loretta Jarvis funeral but can imagine a full sanctuary at her beloved Wellborn Baptist Church
Her end of life travail was long and hard, but now she has no more sorrow, nor tears and her many beloveds are glad for her to be home free with her Lord, Jesus Christ.
Even though grief is acute and "going forward" without Loretta physically present will be hard, we who are left behind can celebrate her life, admire it, and thank God that her God given number of days coincided with our own in this place.
The obituary was in the Suwannee Democrat. She and Pasco did so many good things for their family, extended family and our hometown and for Wellborn Baptist Church. She was a compassionate, caring friend, always volunteering and ready to help whose smile I remember gratefully.
