Yesterday I read that our beautiful Sister in the Lord, Nona Freeman has went to meet Jesus. Below is a write up by one of her loved ones that touches tiny bits about her. . . .

Nona Freeman 1916-2009
By Sandra Freeman:
Dear Loved Ones of Nona Freeman:
We sorrow, yet rejoice to inform you of the earthly departure and heavenly arrival of our mother Nona E. Freeman 93 years old. She was a Jesus name Minister; Foreign Missionary; Daughter; Wife; Mother; Grandparent and beloved friend to millions around the world.
She took the 10:45 p.m. flight, Saturday, December 26, 2009 at our home in Fort Worth, Texas. Take-off was smooth after 93 years of waiting on the run-way. There was often layovers at various terminals in her life but Mom never
complained.
She began her Ministry in 1939. She spread the gospel of Jesus Christ for over 70 years as a Preacher, Foreign Missionary, Speaker, Columnist, Evangelist and beloved author of more than twenty books. She preached and served as pastor's wife throughout the United States and the continent of her burden, Africa.
Upon arrival she was greeted at her Heavenly Destination by Jesus! Then she was finally greeted by our dad and her spouse of 62 years; her beloved E.L. 'Bug' Freeman!
She was also greeted her daughter and our sister Marla, and not only a fellow minister but her beloved mother, Carrie Eastridge as well as a host of loved ones, the apostles and prophets of old.
Those left at the terminal upon her departure; daughter and travel companion Sandra Freeman of Fort Worth, Texas, daughters, Linda, Sharon, son Dale Freeman, several generations of grandchildren, siblings, family and a host of friends around the world.
The Nona Freeman family thanks you and asks for your prayers at this time.

I had never heard of Nona Freeman.
But just reading about her is a blessing.
Thanks for including it. It makes a
person want to live for Jesus.
God bless you.
Cheryl - I'm sorry I'm not more clear on this, but are you related to this wonderful lady?
Hi Deb. I don't know her personally but, Sister Nona is a person in the United Pentecostal Church that was well known for all her works.
How are you? How was Christmas? What are you doing for New Years?
I have been quite busy with baking so that I could give my Daughter Robin from New Brunswick a box of bake goods. She came on the 15th to get her son Caleb and flew back in the a.m. on the 16th. On Sat the 19th, I went to a x-mas dinner feast at my brothers friends house. What a nice gathering.
I had a nice roast beef dinner cooked in the crock pot with my son Shane and a neighbor on Christmas day. Later, my chinese friends came for a game of Tri-Ominos and we had fruit fondu with dark chocolate & a couple of meats. I gave them a cute layered tin container that looks like a snowman with a top hat loaded with bake goods to take home with them. I believe they enjoyed themselves. I sure did.
Yesterday, I went to see some lights at the zoo with my neighbor. Beautiful!! On New Years Eve I am going to a couples house to bring in the new year (who go to my church).
Hoping you have enjoyed Christmas and will have health, happiness and peace during 2010.
God Bless

Hello Manthano. It is sooo good to hear from you. Nona has definately put her character in many people all over. I have read some of her novels in the past. They were very inspirational. She certainly has directed many people to God.
Thank you for writing.
God Bless.
Cheryl
