Shining Examples
- To Us All
Full Name : Dee Ashworth little "accidents"
had anything to do with them buying a house that was literally, a walk across
the parking lot, to a community hospital! Most recently Thelma tripped on the
church stairs and broke her help, we are all so thankful she has completely
recovered.
Shining Examples
You are simply two very special
people
and your special-ness shines so
very bright,
you've been our inspiration, our
grounding rock,
in every way, you've been our
shining light.
Thelma has a reputation for being
sort of a "klutz",
unfortunately the car accident
weakened her knees
now her "trips" include the
sidewalk and the church stairs
and they once lived
close to the hospital just to keep down the fees.
Bud's had problems of his own,
his eyes no longer saw what they
used to see,
after the operation Thelma gave
him a shiner,
(just to make sure that they were
aligned perfectly).
Unfortunately, Bud has some
dreadful addictions
and boy, you should watch him
eat,
every morning, for fifty years,
Bud has eaten a bowl of Cream of
Wheat.
Thelma and Bud always work as a
team,
especially, when the car refuses
to start,
Bud gives up, Thelma gets it
going,
perfect team players - joined at
the heart.
Thelma's hair was pitch black for
seventy five years,
we swear, there was never an
ounce of dye,
daughter and granddaughter would
have liked these genes,
but there are some things you
just can't buy.
Thelma, prayed for years that Ray
would marry again,
of course, we know the Lord
understands,
so she set up a blind date with a
neighbor,
"the Lord helps those with
Thelma's helping hands".
Bud is a high school sports
enthusiast,
every football Friday you'll find
him there in his seat,
rooting for the Piqua Indians
and making the home quarter back
faster on his feet.
Surprisingly, this was the second
marriage for both of them,
but I know that Thelma thought
that Bud answered her prayers,
Bud feels it was the best day of
his life
and that's a thought that he
frequently shares.
They have such very fine qualities,
qualities that simply can't be
bought
and they've passed these onto their
offspring
and we're very grateful for all the
lessons that they've taught.
When we think of our grandparents,
these thoughts come to mind,
we think they are just marvelous
and both so incredibly kind.
Integrity is their watch word,
we can't remember a lie or a debt
not paid,
their faith in God is
unquestionable
and that's the way it has always
stayed.
They are both very forgiving
and willing to overlook
shortcomings in others,
their words of advice have been
treasured,
by friends, cousins, sons,
daughters, fathers and mothers.
They are so committed to one
another,
that commitment extends beyond the
family,
they have room in their hearts for
everyone,
for him, her, you and me.
Over the years we've kept it "all
in the family",
mother and daughter share the same
mother-in-law
and, we just wanted to say thank
you Bud and Thelma,
that's really what these words are
for.
Because "you gave us faith, because
you believed"
and that faith has been passed to
many here today,
we know that God hears and listens
to you,
because you both are shining
examples of His way.
