Oh, Happy Day, Happy, Happy, Day!

"This is the day the Lord hath made, let us rejoice and be glad in it." (Psalm 118:24)

Truly, this IS a happy day and a day for rejoicing. I promise you, Moma is doing just that. She's dancing on streets of gold, singing in the heavenly choir, and having many a talk with Jesus. Oh, Happy Day!

Moma, Judy, was something else. She was out-standing. Extra-ordinary. She was a spectacle of the spectacular... A super-star; bright and fiery! And, oh my, my what a fireball she was!

They say, "Heavy is the head that wears the crown."... But, not for her. She wore the crown of family Matriarch with poise and grace. For her, it seemed to be light as a feather. Moma's crown was as unique, as she was. It sparkled with jewels of faith, magnificently crafted with honor, loyalty, and love.
