In Loving Memory
A dear friend went Home to Heaven on Friday night, September 25th. Mary Wade was a wonderful lady who lived life to the fullest. I am deeply saddened by her loss and I grieve with and for her family left behind. She leaves behind her husband, Jeff, daughters Jennifer, Ruth and Sarah and grandchildren, Eric, Ashley, Jackson, Matthew, Benjamin, Marley and Maryanne. Also many friends and relatives who will miss her dearly. Mrs. Wade loved the Lord and was a wonderful prayer warrior. She had a southern accent that could make you smile. Heaven is a better place now that she's there. In loving memory of Mary Wade, a southern lady, who loved the Lord! RIP my friend!

Mrs. Wade
A very dear friend of mine is very ill. In fact, she is so ill, she isn't expected to make it through tonight. She is on life support. The family plans on taking her off of the life support once her oldest daughter arrives. Mrs. Wade is a very dear lady and will be sorely missed! I lived with her and her husband for 5 yrs. In those years I gained many fond (mostly funny) memories. The things that stick in my head are numerous. But I am going to name a special few.
1)I was upstairs in my room. The Wade's and their daughter were downstairs. Suddenly I hear some shreaking. I run downstairs only to see Mrs. Wade and her daughter, Ruth, up on the couch and Bro. Wade was running around the living room with a poker from the fireplace. Apparently a rat had entered the house. So funny! (The rat got away).
2)One day, I was downstairs talking with the Wade's. Mrs. Wade got all serious and says "Karen, come here". I walk over to her and without warning, she reached out and pulled me into a hug. She laughs and says "It just looked like you needed a hug and I knew you wouldn't just let me give you one". (I'm not a big fan of hugging, although that has changed some through the years).
3)I remember taking Mrs. Wade with me on the Single's Ministry Christmas cruise. She went as my "mom" since parents were invited.
4)I remember all the times she would tell me she was praying for me. I'd see her list and she had specific things on there that I had asked her to pray about. (Even a few things I didn't ask for).
5)Mrs. Wade had been in a car accident right in front of our house. While she was still in the hospital, I noticed in a dish by the sink, that she had put all her jewelry there. When she got home that night (with a broken right arm and sprained left arm), I asked "How your jewelry get home before you?" She answered "I ran in and put soap on my fingers and got them off before the ambulance arrived. I knew my arms were broken and I didn't want those doctors cutting my rings off!" Only Mrs. Wade would think of something like that:0)
I will stop with that for now. Right now, as I post this, her family is saying goodbye to her. I loved her dearly and will miss her so very much. She was a godly lady who loved to pray for you. May God's peace be with her family during this trying time.
