In honor of a dedicated wife and mother: Missey

The home school community has received bittersweet* news. Yesterday, a mom of our number went into eternity after an emergency c-section. Missey taught her children using Ambleside Online, as I do. She also shared advice and practical help freely with other home-educating moms online. Please pray for her husband, Tom, and their 5 children, including the baby girl born March 1 and named after her mommy, Melissa Kate.

Missey's obituary, photo, and details about the complications after her surgery.

*But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him, 1 Thessalonians 4: 13, 14.
