Mom's Passing

Just a few hours after I sent my surgery update to you and requested prayer for my mom, she went to be with the Lord. I wish I was there, but the nurses say she passed away peacefully in her sleep just after midnight.  Thanks for your prayers for myself, my son Daniel, brother David, sister-in-law Jennice and my 2 nieces Rebecca and Rachelle and her husband Dennis, as we go through this time of grieving and loss.  Whenever I think of my mom, I’ve always thought of Matt 5:9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called  children of God ”. I’m sure any of you who knew my mom, would agree she was a peacemaker.  Today she has met her ultimate place of peace, meeting her Lord and having a nice reunion with the love of her life, my dad. Thanks again for your love and prayers. I feel them.  Blessings, Jeanette June Wabischewich November 23, 1932 - February 8, 2022

If everything is looking good, he says I can get back to normal (including returning to Tanzania) with some follow-up as needed. I've been recovering slowly but surely. But, just as I am getting strong enough to get back to my normal activities, I've had another unexpected event. As many of you know, my 89 year old mom has not been doing well the last few months. I thought she was improving, but it seems she has taken a turn for the worse in the last 2 weeks and s
