I feel like I'm in the all too familiar state of being entirely overwhelmed. Check out a piece of this email....
Our lives are brightened by the memory of Ramona, her beautiful smile and her huge heart for Jesus and the poor.
May her compassion and joy, triumphant even in the face of terminal illness, be multiplied to many precious souls among the desperately needy children of Africa.
Here in Pemba we are naming a baby house after her and know that Jesus will honor Ramona with His rich presence among all the children who will feel the love of God in this very special and anointed house.
Much love in Jesus,
Heidi and Rolland
and all of Iris Ministries
Wow! When Trev first read this to me, the first reaction in my mind is that I couldn't wait to tell Ramona that Heidi had named a baby house after her.........
I know Ramona would be incredibly excited.
I want to throw out an encouragement to our blogging community. This is an awesome time to pray into some of the dreams/visions/ideas that Ramona had. God obviously has something amazing in store...
I'm not exactly sure how frequently I'll be posting but this story is definitely not over yet....

I've been following your blog.... you don't know me personally, but we have friends in Arbourg and the area.
We've been carrying you on our hearts daily.
I wanted to comment on what you said about "the story is not over yet...."
We've been saying that as a family at our house because of current situations here. We know the end of Job's story, and Joseph's story, Noah and Moses...but when they were living it, they didn't know the end.
We are living a current story..... and you are so right, it is not over yet.

Dearest Earl and Family,
I'm at a loss for words when I found out of Ramona's passing. I'm sorry for your loss. Ramona was a beautiful person inside and out. I am grateful for having been enlightened in meeting her. I can imagine that Ramona is now living amongst the angels looking over everyone she loves.
I am glad to hear that Ramona's memory will carry on in things that are cause-worthy and so dear to her heart. I hope you'll continue to keep writing this blog.
Every good wishes,
Kitty
I agree - please keep writing. I followed your blog from the beginning & with little contact to your community I felt like the story line was dropped when Ramona passed away.
Altho the pain of missing her will never go away, we'd love to read the rest of your story.
That's just like God eh? Ramona's House, filled with children. He is a faithful Dad who knows exactly how to care for His children and where He wants them to be.
He has a good place for you to be too Earl. I absolutely believe that! And believing these next few days will be life affirming for you as the Lord continues to pour out His Spirit on you, in you and through you. I'm expecting the Lord to blow your minds in about a week or so :-) and I'll be emailing you guys to find out what the Lord has done!
Blessings on you Earl!
Candace :-)

Earl, Just happened to see her picture in the newpaper and went to check and sure enough, she got her wish to be nearer to Jesus. I've been keeping an eye on this blog and am realy glad that you are holding on in faith that God's work continues. Nel
