?¢‚Ǩ?ìToday my mommy is being romanced by her Holy bride in Heaven?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s courts. She flew onto God?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s celestial shore early this morning. As she breathed her last breath here, she breathed her first breath in perfection. Home for Christmas.?¢‚Ǩ¬ù
?¢‚Ǩ?ìHe will wipe away every tear from their eyes and death shall be no more. Neither shall there be mourning or pain any more for the former things have passed away.?¢‚Ǩ¬ù Revelations 21:4.
During her forty-eight years with us, Amy touched so many lives. She always offered a selfless helping hand and reached out to countless people in need. Amy loved her family and she loved the Lord. She was a member of Stonewall House of Prayer in Floyd, Virginia. Service to others and to her Heavenly Father was of utmost importance to her.
Anyone who met Amy immediately felt her warmth and caring spirit. While she will be missed here, she has taken her rightful place on the right hand of God, her Father above.
Her suffering and pain have ended and her eternal life has begun. Glory to the Father. The family asks that in lieu of flowers that donations be made to the Amy Rector Scholarship Fund at 640 South Van Buren Road, Suite E, Eden, North Carolina 27288.
This scholarship has been formed to offer college funding for local students in need.
