To the Family of Mrs. Billie James Wedgewood -
Please know that your family is in our prayers as we send these condolences to you!
Please remember the Words of our Lord in John 14: 1-4:
"Let not your heart be troubled...In my father's house are many mansions...I go to prepare a place for you..."
Sincerely, Pastor Wynston Dixon & the Family of Braden United Methodist Church, Toledo, Ohio.
ONE SIMPLE SCRIPTURE SUMS UP MY MOTHER, "BLESSED ARE THE PURE OF HEART FOR THEY WILL ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN". SHE WAS BORN TO SERVE, BORN TO LOVE, AND BORN WITH AN EXTREME DESIRE TO LIVE AND LIVE WITHOUT COMPLAINING ABOUT HER PAIN AND SUFFERING. .
SHE COULD HAVE GIVEN UP MANY YEARS AGO WHEN A DRUNK DRIVER RAN HER INTO A DITCH AND MANGLED HER BODY. SHE WAS PREGNANT. SHE COULD HAVE GIVEN UP AND DIED AND I WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN BORN. SHE FOUGHT TO SURVIVE AND I WAS BORN PREMATURELY BUT ALIVE. HER INJURIES SET THE STAGE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF CONSTANT PAIN. BUT SHE MOVED FORWARD, NEVER COMPLAINING AND NEVER HOLDING ONTO BITTERNESS. A TRULY REMARKABLE WOMAN.
NOT ONLY DID SHE LIVE BUT SHE WAS THE PERFECT MOM. THE INFLUENCE AND POWER OF A CHRISTIAN WOMAN SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERESTIMATED. SHE MADE SURE WE WENT TO SUNDAY SCHOOL, TO BIBLE SCHOOL, TO BE A PART OF MYF. SHE TAUGHT ME THE CHRISTIAN VALUES AND GAVE ME A MORAL COMPASS THAT I NOW PASS ON TO MY KIDS AND GRANDCHILDREN.
SHE TAUGHT ME HOW TO BE RESPECTFUL, TO SERVE, TO LOVE AND TO FORGIVE. THANK YOU MOM I WILL FOLLOW YOUR LEAD AND GROW IN FAITH AND SERVICE TO THE YOUTH OF WAYNESVILLE.
I LOVE YOU MOM
RON JAMES
