Eddie Moss Quietly Slipped into the Hands of God New Years Eve
As the new year entered in Eddie took his leave. The house was full with his children, grandchildren, daughter in law and friend, preparing to see the new year in. There was laughter, domino games and food, and movies.He quietly slipped away without a sound and with us protected from the sound of any gasps or rattles. He had been loved on all evening and talked to and stroked. I had just told him 5 minutes before he passed of how much I loved him and that it was okay to go with Jesus when He came for him and that we would be okay.
When I realized he was gone I called to everyone to surround his bed for prayer. After I prayed and thanked God for His amazing grace I informed them that their dad and grandad was gone and that they coukld greive as much as they needed to and be with him while they could. Hard? Yes! Tears? Yes! GRACE? It abounded!! To God be the glory. We sang over him and spent the night celebrating the life of this man that we love so much and will never forget. As I sat by his bed I sang "It Is Well With My Soul" and I'm Going Up Yonder"
Your prayers continue to carry us. Now for the grace to make arrangements and say the final goodby' until we meet again..."Up Yonder"
