I want to pay special tribute to my right hand and trustworthy friend.... Sis Gladys Owens. She worked side by side with me through any project that needed to be done over the last 8 years. She was a minister's wife for over 50 years and understood the challenges and responsibilities I face.
She would sew.... cook.... clean.... study... teach.... preach.... do research for me..... listen.... pray.... laugh.... cry.... create answers with me out of nothing.....play the organ....sing....decorate... she never said 'no' to whatever I needed her to do. We spent many a happy hour working together and sharing our hearts. Very few people can understand our calling and position in life - it takes a preachers wife to understand a preachers wife I think.
I will miss you sorely my friend. But I am happy for you... today you walk the streets of gold you preached about. Today you are living in paradise with your beloved Lord.
She loved a good time....now you will have a good time for eternity.
She was such a blessing to us all, and I'll miss her always. Your comments about her were all that need be said. Her friend in Christ,
Joyce Ruiz
