I want you all to know that I have moved. I received a call from God, the Chief Architect, who informed me that my new house was ready and that I could move in immediately. I apologize as I didn't have time to give you notice. You all know that I have been laboring, sending up timber in my own way, packing up a little each and every day. There were however some minor things and some finishing touches that the Chief Carpenter, fesus Christ had to do. I waited patiently to hear God's call and when it came, my soul was ready so I surrendered all.
Well, my new house is beautiful and it's such a sight to behold. It's located in an exclusive estate area where the streets are paved in gold. It sits behind a beautiful Pearly Gate, just off a serene celestial shore. I have lived in several places before my home was prepared, and believe me when I say this, none can even compare. Every day is Sunday here. There is peace, joy, happiness and no more pain to bear. No strife or discontent just sweet serenity everywhere. We could go on and on, exploring my new home, but the time has come for me to be fitted for my wings and receive my crown. Below is my new address. I highly recommend you make plans to live here too! - Martha Ann Tutt Coleman
P.S. Let me tell you this my family and friends. I don't have a telephone yet, but if you need me just call God. I f you don't have His number, He is listed in the Good Book on every page, contact Him!
The family of Martha Ann Thtt Coleman would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all of you who cared and shared with us in our loss. We pray that God will sustain you as he has sustained us in accepting the loss of someone we love so dearly. Truly your thoughtfulness and your many expressions of love and sympathy will never be forgotten. May God bless and keep you in His divine care is our humble prayer. - The Family
