| IRENE - 1980 (39 years old) |
On the morning of Saturday, March 23, 2013, at the age of 72, my beloved mother, Irene (Martel) Rahn, left her broken and pain filled body to enter the Kingdom of her lifelong Lord, Saviour, Redeemer and King, Jesus.
Her body will be interred at:
"Northern Lights Cemetery” (Edmonton, AB, Canada)
No services will be held.
However, she had a deep heart of compassion for the homeless and one of her final requests was that, in lieu of flowers, you send a donation to:
Hope Mission
P.O. Box 953
Edmonton, AB
T5J 2L8
Phone: 780-453-3877
She is well known to Hope Mission and they have set up a memorial fund in her name.
Simply write: “In Memory of Irene Rahn” on your cheque OR
mention her name when you give online:
www.hopemission.com
(But if you wish to give anonymously that’s fine too. The important thing is that you give).
I, her daughter Laura-Lee, am in complete sympathy with her wishes.
Jesus, in his infinite mercy, gave both Mom and myself all the strength and peace needed for her final journey. He has also allowed me to fulfill every promise I made to her in regard to her last wishes.
For those of us she leaves behind, her request is that we be comforted and remember her while reading
Psalm 16 (especially verses: 5-11)
and
Isaiah 26 in the Bible.
I refer you to my personal blog: www.LauraleeWasHere.blogspot.com

Which has consistently remained the most viewed entry worldwide since it was originally posted.
With deepest sincerity,
her daughter, Laura-Lee
