Who was Ella U Rader . . . she was a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, friend and a
faithful follower of Jesus Christ.
She unconditionally loved, supported and cared for her husband, Wilson.
She gave life to 4 incredible boys who grew into strong, kind and loving men.
She was always there to care for her boys, nurture them and even spared not the rod . . .when needed.
She was a mom who spent many hours praying for her boys and their families.
She loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren with all her heart and even in the fast pace world
she always remembered to drop a card in the mail for every birthday.
She hands down made the best chocolate gravy for breakfast ever. (Yes-chocolate gravy)
She faced hardship but managed to keep her joy.
She loved her church family and loved singing in the choir every week.
She was faithful to love and serve others, giving of her time and resources wherever she felt God lead
her.
Her life was a model worth following but not just following, it was a life worth imitating.
She tangibly showed the love of Christ by her kindness, generosity and respect for others.
So what do you say to a mom who wasn’t perfect, but loved God first, family second and others well?
YOU SAY, Love you Mom . . . .”WELL DONE, COME IN”
(Matthew 25:34-40 NIV)
