I also came to know her through my wife, Harriet, who works at Colonial Heights Convalescent Center--Mertie's last home. I didn't know her very well, and I only visited her a handful of times in the past year or so. However, it was obvious to me that Mertie Ashworth was a woman of great faith who had a far-reaching influence on her family. I am praying tonight that Jesus will give her the rest he has promised her. I am also praying that God will continue to use her faith and good works to make this world a better place. Posted by: Roddy Chestnut at February 27, 2007 07:19 PMMs. Irene and family, We loved Mertie very much and knew her to be a wonderful Christian mother. She is with her Lord now, where there will be no more pain or suffering and will remember her life here on earth. She was a good and faithful servant to her Master, the Lord Jesus Christ. To the children, grandchildren and great children, if you want to see her again, make sure you are right with the LORD. Love to all I remember your mother and all your family very well as Mr and Mrs Ashworth were great friends of my mother and dad and all us kids grew up together with Jean and myself being classmates. Our condolence to all the family Posted by: Richard and Alta Smith at February 24, 2007 09:53 AM |
