I will be giving this card to my 95-year-old Mother-in-Law Harriett Scott who is in Hospice care facility. 

Mom - Harriett Scott - Taken in 2008

My MIL is truly a Chick that Ruled. She was one of the first women to receive her flying license in the 1930's - and served in the Civil Air Patrol. She worked on the line in the factory for General Motors, as well as during the war. She went through the Great Depression Era, but was blessed to be living on a farm where she had adequate food supply. She loved to travel and made several trips to Russian and Ireland. She was active in planting and caring for a huge vegetable and flower gardens her entire life. She canned her own food, made her own butter and cooked with lard [one of her favorite ingredients]. She sewed and crocheted. Harriett,was on several bowling teams for many years as well as a active golfer. She attended and was active at the local Senior Citizens center for decades. 

She gave birth to 3 children; Robert, Rick[my husband], and Linda. 

In February this year, the Lord provided another opportunity for me to lead her to Jesus as she laid in a hospital bed in the local hospital with the assistance of oxygen. This time she accepted Jesus as her Savior.

It is a difficult time for us as we watch our mom going through the dying process. However, we are blessed knowing that when she leaves this earth she will be with Jesus and we will see her once again at our final home - Heaven.

Life is truly a short journey on earth, Cherish each day and live it to the fullest. Rick  and I wish you a Happy Resurrection Sunday. Thank you for stopping by my blog today.
