Journal entry by Jamie Bleeker —
It’s hard to believe that over a week has passed since God called my mom home. She is dearly missed but I’m grateful that her six-year battle against cancer is finally over and she is no longer suffering.
Our family has been overwhelmed by the love and support shown to our family over the past six-years as mom battled cancer. We are incredibly grateful for all the cards, encouraging words, meals, visits, and prayers during this time. Cancer is never an easy journey to go through, but constantly having the love and support from friends and family around you makes the journey a little less harsh.
Thank you to all who were able to make it to celebrate my mom’s life at her visitation and memorial service. It was wonderful to hear stories and see the many people my mom impacted during her time here on earth. For those who would like to watch the funeral, below is a link to the service.
Thank you all for the wonderful blessing you have been to our family.
Sincerely,
Jamie
Glorious Day by Casting Crowns
One day when Heaven was filled with His praises
One day when sin was as black as could be
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin
Dwelt among men, my example is He
Word became flesh and the light shined among us
His glory revealed
Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He’s coming
Oh glorious day, oh glorious day
One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain
One day they nailed Him to die on a tree
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He
Hands that healed nations, stretched out on a tree
And took the nails for me
One day the grave could conceal Him no longer
One day the stone rolled away from the door
Then He arose, over death He had conquered
Now He’s ascended, my Lord evermore
Death could not hold Him, the grave could not keep Him
From rising again
One day the trumpet will sound for His coming
One day the skies with His glories will shine
Wonderful day, my Beloved One, bringing
My Savior, Jesus, is mine
Oh, glorious day
