We attended a funeral today to celebrate the life of a wonderful man. He loved God, his wife and everyone else he knew. As we said goodbye to the man's WONDERFUL wife, she told me the story of the necklace she was wearing. She said about five weeks ago she saw this pretty necklace but then noted that she did not need another necklace. The weeks passed by and she forgot about the necklace. Her husband died on Tuesday. The necklace arrived in her mail box yesterday with a note of love from her husband.

What a beautiful gift he sent her from heaven! That story was better than any movie especially if you know this wonderful couple. Praise God for His love and grace.

Oh.... how sweet, yet how sad over the loss. It IS wonderful to celebrate the life of this man. I know his wife will treasure the memories and that necklace each day. Thank you for sharing that...

I wanted to be there but it wasn't going to work out. Please let the wonderful wife that I prayed for her that day and that she's been in my thoughts and prayers since.

What a wonderful story about the necklace. Give her a big hug for me please!
