The Death of a Neighbor

Here it is almost Christmas! Shopping is done but gifts are not yet wrapped. Holidays are sad, especially when one gets older and family gets smaller. Yesterday I looked out my window and saw a fire engine, and an ambulance. I didnt go out to check but figured someone had gotten sick. Later on, the medical examiner car was there with a police car! This had to be more than what I thought. Yes, it was more. One of my neighbors had passed away, some say she died in her sleep in her bed! I have known the neighbor for many years and she was not that up in age. I cried and felt very sad that she passed away, but was relieved to know that she had passed on in her sleep. What a peaceful way to join your heavenly father. I said a prayer for her this morning and pray that God would take me home the same way when the time comes.
