Dear David, Thank you for sharing "The Story" of your mother and for providing a site for all to share in the memories and thoughts of the incredible life of a truly amazing woman. I am trusting God to bring you his peace and comfort as you miss your mom. My hope is that you find joy in knowing that Mamie is in the presence of her beloved savior. Mamie, above all else, was a mother. When she arrived in Seattle, in 1964, you were at her side. She had traveled 2,600 miles so could attend a Christian school close to her work. This school provided students with a Christian education, an opportunity to learn a musical instrument of the student’s choice, and each child participated in a choir of their age group. As Mamie grew in her nursing ministry, you grew in your musical talents. We had a piano in our home so on dinner occasions you play for the family. I wish I had a picture of how you played from one end of the piano to the other. After I moved to California, Mamie sent me CD recordings of your piano music. I delight in listening to your music and remind myself that our family was privileged to be one of your first audiences. I am going to miss our telephone conversations and Mamie’s delightful Christmas newsletters. I look forward to the day when I can be with her again. Love, Thelma Jones and Family

Dear David,
My deepest condolences on your beloved mom's passing. I read her "story" with great interest, taking in every detail, and am personally inspired by the life she led. Though I only met her
once (and decades ago!), we established a friendship via email, letters, and spoke on
the phone a couple of times. We were instantly bonded in the Lord, and of course,
connected over you. She was an extraordinary woman of faith (as your note said),
and a truly bright, beautiful soul. I'm sure your heart must be aching right now, but
I hope you are comforted in knowing that she is with her sweet Savior Jesus, experiencing all
the wonders and glories of heaven!
"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His faithful ones." Ps. 116:15
Thank you for notifying me that Mamie has completed her earthly journey and
moved to her forever Home. She will be greatly missed.
Love,
Carla Wilson
