Serve the Lord with Gladys

This book is a result of my mother's prolonged grief and health worries as she aged. She was a lifelong church member and deeply religious. After fifty-plus years of marriage, her husband (my dad) passed away. For the remaining nine years as a widow, she dealt with her grief and health worries by turning to her faith and scripture to find comfort and courage.As a writer over many years, she began to write down scripture that gave her special comfort. Over time she added "e;words of wisdom"e; that were particularly comforting as well. Her steno notebook became her personal journal to read and add new text until her unexpected death. As a resident of a "e;senior community"e; in Minnesota, it is clear to me that many residents experience similar personal or emotional difficulties. Our family hopes that this book will comfort others and provide a model to create their own personal journal.
