Aunt Jerrie

**Jeraldine Grace McConaha Craig**
(Aunt Jerrie & Grandma Rhodes)
(taken Nov. 2014)
My Great Aunt Jerrie-- my Grandma
Rhodes' sister (as her obituary said)
"came into the world on Valentine's Day, 1924,
and went to be with her Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ on Thanksgiving Day,
November 27, 2014."
They lived as sisters for 90 YEARS!!
What a blessing to have someone
to know, grow and love for 90 years!
Both of these ladies
have impacted me in my life.
We are really going to miss
Aunt Jerrie. When I think of her
I think: CONTENT, KIND, JOYFUL,
HAPPY, GENTLE, NATURE LOVING,
and THOUGHTFUL,
On the day she passed away
this is how my Grandma
(who has such a beautiful way
with words) told me....
"My beloved sister checked in
with the heavenly choir at five
minutes before noon on this
Thanksgiving Day..........."
Aunt Jerrie's Daughter Sara said,
"she wanted to eat Thanksgiving
lunch in heaven!"
