Congressman Aderholt Announces the Death of His Mother, Mary Frances Aderholt, 88
A note from Congressman Aderholt on the passing of his mother:
My mom, Mary Frances Aderholt, passed away Saturday afternoon October 12, 2024 here in Haleyville. She was 88, and I thank God I had her as long as I did.
I was with her a couple of days last week and before I left her to go out of town Thursday morning, I told her I loved her and she told me that she loved me.
She was the best mom a son could possibly have.
Even though she was 88, I would have liked to have had her much, much longer. To be honest, it is especially tough, as I am an only child, and lost my dad three years ago. Thankfully, I have the strong arm of the Lord Jesus to cling to.
It is also comforting to know she had a faith in Christ Jesus and she is reunited with my dad, whom she loved so much.
She was quite a lady, and very proper, and always wanted to do things first class. She, along with my dad, were my biggest cheerleaders.
I look forward to seeing both of them again.
I love you Mom!
Recently I was reminded of the song: "He is mine I am His" I want to share the words as it has given me great encouragement. It was written by a fellow Winston Countian, GT Speer back in 1965.
He Is Mine & I Am His Forever
GT Speer
Verse 1: God's amazing grace sent down from Heaven Rescued me from death and from shame
Opened up my eyes and brought salvation
Now I'm His, praise His holy name
Chorus: Now I know ( I know) He is mine (that He's mine) I am His forever (I'm His forever)
He is leading me along life's way (along life's way)
He'll be holding to my hand (to my hand)
When I cross death's river (When I cross death's river) He will take the sting of death away (death's sting away)
Verse 2: 'Tis so sweet just to know I have Jesus with me He will keep me from sin and from strife
He delivered me from condemnation
Now I have eternal life
Repeat Chorus
Bridge: He'll be holding to my hand (to my hand)
When I cross death's river (When I cross death's river) He will take the sting of death away (death's sting away)
Tag: He will take the sting of death away (death's sting away)
