Sad Day

Today is a sad day for the Wynnes. Charlie's mom suffered a brain aneurysm Wednesday while at lunch with Charlie's sister. She was airlifted to a hospital that specializes in these things, but it was just too much. We said "see you later" this evening and watched as she slipped away to her joyous reunion with loved ones on the other side - especially Charlie's dad, Charlie Sr, and of course the Lord whom she loved and served faithfully. She has been a wonderful mother, mother-in-law, MomMom, and friend. She's "service with a smile" - a faithful and service oriented woman, always asking what she can do to help. She was for a long time the President of Women's Ministries at her church. She would much rather be driving someone else to a doctor appointment than going to one herself, helping with grandkids, visiting shut-ins, taking in her children and grandchildren (including us for a month when I was pregnant with the Twynnes) when they were between homes. She was always saying, "I'll be praying for you," and "God bless". I told her once that if she were praying for us, we had nothing to worry about. We already miss her. SMW

  3. Our love and prayers are with you. One of her great blessing was having you for a daughter-in-law. Wish we could give you and Charlie each a big hug right now!
    Love you, Joy and Gary
