Happy birthday Granny

Marsha's Mom, Jean Herttenberger, turns 88 tomorrow.  Here are just a few of the reasons I love her and am proud of her.

She has an amazing spiritual legacy.  Her kids are faithful.  But I especially appreciate her generational influence in my family.

She raised my wife.  Taught her to be an amazing wife and mother.  She has been a great influence on our Julie.  Helped Marsha teach Julie to be a strong woman.  Prays for Marsha and Julie as they raise Avery the same way.

I call them 1,2, 3, and 4.  Strong women.  Women of faith.

She includes lots of people in our family.  Her home has always been a place where everyone is welcome.

She is someone to cry with.  Her heart is huge for those who are hurting.

She loves Grandpa.  71 years a faithful wife.  Amazing.

She loves me as a son, not a son-in-law.

She has been a giver all of her life.  Taking care of others.  Now she needs taking care of .  I appreciate that she always thanks those who care for her.

She is one of those who models faith much more than she talks about faith.

Great example of a wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

Daughter of the King.

Talks about wanting to go home and means it.  She is ready.

God thanks for Granny.  Thanks for all she has meant to our family.  Thanks for her love and faith.  Thanks for her example.  Thanks that she molded Marsha, Julie, and Avery to be like her ... and to be like You.  Give her peace and comfort.  You have done a good work in her.
