The Peace that surpasses all Understanding

Zina Baluczynski, 1915 - 2008

It's been a little over a week since my Grandmother passed away (she was 93!). Her spirit left peacefully as my mother was reading Psalm 23 to her. We're really going to miss her, she was such a neat lady. The memorial service, celebrating her life, was last weekend.

Psalm 23 was one of her favorite passages from the Bible. I came across an old "end of the year" or "christmas" letter from 2003. My Aunt had sent it out, but written it from Babcia's viewpoint. In the letter, towards the end, she had written something like "whenever I'm weary, Amber reads the 23rd Psalm to me." How perfect that those were the last words she heard. And now she is with her Savior.

If you'd like to read her biography (she has an amazing story), you can find on my Aunt's blog here. I was priviledged to call her my Babcia.
