this is the same post I have on my myspace..
Mrs. Elder died yesterday around 4 pm. I am excited for her because I know she is heaven singing her heart out to the Lord. Doing exactly what she has been looking forward to doing. It brings comfort to me to know how much comfort she felt. Not physically but the comfort she had through Christ. I pray that the Lord give Mr. Elder and his family the same comfort that I have and that Mrs. Elder had. Mrs. Elder was the one who taught me guitar (most of it) she practiced with me every wed when I was young. She always kept me in line and didnt let me get away with being stupid. ;0) her and Mr. elder were always there for us kids when we needed them. even if it meant coming over and playing video games and eating nachos. they were always there. I will miss her a lot. Im sad that in the past couple of years we werent as close. But I know she loved me and she knows I love her. She is a wonderful example of what a woman in christ should be like.I was reading an artical the newspaper did on her on january 26th of this year..here are some things that stick out to me,that I know are true.Dawn Elder considers each day a blessing.Elder, a woman of deep faith and inner strengthShe chose to talk about this most personal experience because she wants to make other women - and men, she added - aware of the opportunity for BRCA testing, and of the choices they can make as a result.Meanwhile, since all of their children live out of town, Elder said that my wonderful husband, John, and my church got her through the prolonged treatments.She also blesses Stefanie Hassett, her friend at Grace Baptist Church.Chemo is very depressing. You have to have a really good support system. It made me fall in love with them all the time. Elder said.She has taught music to the kindergartners at May Grisham School - It's a gift, she said. I came home from the mammogram and drew the rose, which is given to women having the mammogram. She now takes digital photos, especially of flowers, and manipulates them on the computer to create beautiful floral cards, many with Biblical quotes.Going through this journey toward recovery has been a deep spiritual experience for Dawn and John.He's a rare husband, a sweet man, she said.It (the cancer and treatments) changed everything. For a while, I lived day by day, then felt I have to get contributing again. I give glory to God for just being here. He could have taken me and he didn't, she said.The Lord did take her. and I know she was ready. what an amazing woman. I hope some day I can be as strong as she was. We love you mrs. Elder!
