Day 282/365

“Charm can be misleading, and beauty is vain and so quickly fades, but this virtuous woman lives in the wonder, awe, and fear of the Lord. She will be praised throughout eternity. So go ahead and give her the credit that is due, for she has become a radiant woman, and all her loving works of righteousness deserve to be admired at the gateways of every city!” (Proverbs‬ ‭31:30-31‬ ‭TPT‬‬)

She never Pastored a Church, but she successfully and beautifully taught me right from wrong and all about the love of GOD in Christ Jesus.

She never had a Facebook page, but knew enough of everyone in her familial group that we all knew we were welcomed, loved, respected and valued.

She never was on LinkedIn, but she constantly encouraged, advised and supported us all to ‘go higher,’ in everything we undertook and in every step of the way.

She never had an Instagram account, but we all knew firsthand all about her amazingly open table she had in her home and the scrumptious foods she cooked as well as the welcome place always set there for us.

My Mother, mia Mamma, Antonia Iusco, who came to England on her own as a young girl of 20 back in 1952 to start a new life after the ravages of the last world war. Beloved Mamma. Grandma Tonia to her precious grandchildren and great grandchildren. Friend of heart to my wife and friend in life to so many others, went to be with the Lord Jesus at 01:15 this morning. Hallelujah! ❤️💔🙏🏻
