My Aunt Vera loved to have a fancy spread of food every Sunday when I was visiting as a child. Her chicken was the best and I always remember the honey bear. I grew up in the city, so I am a city slicker. I remember the first time my brother and I saw her kill the chicken for the Sunday dinner. That was the first time we have ever seen anyone kill an animal for food. I was a little shook up, but not enough to become a vegetarian. My greatest memory of her is how much she loved our Lord Jesus Christ. I love you Aunt Vera and I miss you, but the good bye is not for ever because you have victory in Jesus and God has said well done good and faithful daughter of mine and that is my goal to. For my Aunt Vera's family I am deeply sorry for your loss, but cherish all the wonderful memories you share with her and remember she is wearing the victory crown.
