There's a new angel in Heaven's ranks today,
Margaret Vidra is this angel's name,
She's not suffering anymore, thank the Lord,
And life, for her, will never be the same,
Ravaged by arthritis for many long years,
She was always hurting, always in pain,
But she never let on...lived life to the full,
Now she's an angel...she won't suffer again,
Can just picture her...chasing angels around,
She's amazed at what her new body can do,
Couldn't run or jump since she was a small girl,
She feels invigorated, she's been renewed,
She runs and jumps into the Lord's outstretched arms,
And He hugs her, His Heart overflows with love,
He tells her, "You've passed life's test, rest in Me now,
Welcome home, Margaret, to Heaven Above."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's a celebration going on in Heaven
Above...the angels welcomed Margaret
Vidra (affectionately called "Maggie" by
those who knew and loved her) home
this past Saturday evening.
Her suffering is over, thank God...she had
severe juvenile rheumatoid arthritis since
she was 12 years old, and had had many
surgeries and joint replacements. Her
body just couldn't take any more...
She was surrounded by those she loved.
Please pray for Kenneth Vidra, my broth-
er, who was married to Maggie for over 25
years. He stayed with her, and he is to
be commended for that...most men would
not have been that committed.
He truly stayed with Maggie until death
did them part...
Maggie...I know you're not suffering any
more, but I will miss you. :(
(((HUGS))) and love,
karla. :(

Through interviews with Lauren's doctors, along with those of other physicians, researchers, and clinicians who specialize in lung cancer, readers will have a better understanding of the disease.
With the same passion and honesty Lauren exhibite
Sherlyn Powell opens up about her love and devotion to her family and the overwhelming repercussion when communication breaks down. Heartbroken and distraught she learns to release her prayer and realize with faith God would reunite her family.
