Mom passed on Saturday February 20, 2010. On Monday February 22nd, I was
driving from my house to Mom's place. My brother David was staying at Mom's.
On the back road to Mom's it is not unusual to encounter semi-trucks. There is a
food storage warehouse, so semis are quite common.
The weather was overcast and a light snow was falling. I come upon a truck
that is just about crawling in front of me.
I started to mumble and bitch to myself about it, when I looked up as saw a bible
quotation on the back of the truck. I knew I did not have time, nor the ability to
write down the whole verse, so I grabbed my cell phone and took this photo.
I explained to David what had just happened. I said to David... "It's pretty
RARE to see a bible verse on the back of a truck. Whatever that verse was,
I need to find out. I think it's going to be of some importance."
Upon looking up the verse......
‘They that hope in the Lord will renew
their strengths, they will soar as with
eagles wings. They will run and not
grow weary, walk and will not grow faint’.
Isaiah 40:31
I knew exactly how important. Mom had been discharged from the hospital
on 2-17. On the evening of 2-18, she collapsed. (fainted) She was revived,
but on 2-20 following her wishes, she was removed from life support.
It was Mom letting US know she was soaring with those eagles.
For those of you who don't know.... MOM LOVED BIRDS !!!!!
My sister in law, Rose created the program for Mom's funeral mass.
The closing song of her funeral mass was....
On Eagles' Wings
Dedicated today to Christopher J. Twomey as he is laid to rest.
May God be with your family and friends now, and for a long
time to come. Comforted by an Army of Angels and friends.
