The Widow's Mite Project - Smilia and Aurelia from Dolat

Many of you will recall my writing about the above mother (aged 90) and her daughter (aged 66) who had mental and physical disabilities and who resided in squalid conditions in one room of their run down home in a remote village in the Judet of Timisoara near the Serbian border. This photo was taken 2 years ago.

We last visited them whilst in Romania in December and were upset by their declining health and inability to get out of bed or eat.  I wrote movingly on the blog and  we prayed that God would take them both home.  It had always been Smilia's prayer that he take them either together or that Aurelia die before her.  We give thanks that this week God rewarded her for her faithfulness as she passed away a day after Aurelia.  There is no more pain nor sorrow but peace in eternal life with the Father.
