She's Home

Mom made it Home.  Our Heavenly Father who loves us all so much took Esther Belle Alexander home to be with Him on April 3, 2014 at 5:43 in the evening.  My dad (Jim Alexander) and brother (Frank Alexander) and I were with her when she left.  It was God’s mercy and grace.  I miss her.

When I see particular bunches of flowers growing in the yard, or when I cook up some new recipe I think she‘d like to taste, or when I just dial her phone number to hear her voicemail … it all twinges and pulls at my heart, but I’d never drag her back here.  She’s Home:  happy, young, strong, free and in the loving arms of Jesus.  Thank you everyone for praying for my family.  It has made a difference and continues to.  My mama was a nature girl and a creative dreamer, and she still is.  Death for a true believer in Jesus Christ is not an end.  It’s just a new beginning.  “Happily ever after” does not have to be a fairytale:  it’s simply when a child of God goes Home.
