What a beautiful lady. Wow, that really brings tears to the eyes….I must say that I’ve needed to read a post like this. I found out yesterday that I need an MRI done of my kidney because something may be wrong. My blood pressure, out of the blue, is off the charts and I was put on 2 meds over the course of 2 days. I’m scared and I admit my attitude has left a lot to be desired….There’s a lot to be learned from a strong, Christian woman like Ramey. Thank you for this.

I knew Ramey through one of my college roommates (Bonnie Curran). I always thought that she was so cool and I wanted to have that carefree spirit that she had. I admired her singing and was always in awe of her and her gift for music. From what I remember, she was always so positive and upbeat and it seems like she was that way till the end. I actually had just learned that she was sick only a few weeks ago and I’m so sadened by her passing. What a gift we have to know that one day we will see and hear her again.

i just learned this morning that my friend had passed away and I was just trying to read online more about how it happened. Wow it has been a day of sadness for me. The wind was taken out of my sails when my friend just emailed me about it and I did not even know she was sick.
I just keep thinking about her spirit how infectious she was (great word) and how she just let Jesus shine through her. She and I were friends at LU and I went to church with her a few times. We had a bond and she just had a neatness about her. I always aspired to be a little more like Ramey especially when it came to my faith and how open she was about it. She is just one of a kind and one day I will be with her again in Heaven. Thanks for the lovely post. Heather Reichard Jenkins

Wow…it’s all I can really say. I lost my mom to cancer when I was 11, and I have questioned God, and I have hated God, and I have loved God sometimes all at the same time. My dad had a similar dream to Judah’s only it was after my moms passing and it brought our family much peace. I have had dreams with my mom in it that have sometimes seemed so real that I used to walk through the house and look for her. (Especially right after it happened.) I hate that someone so young, vibrant, and devoted had to go so soon, but my mom was a lot like Ramey with her love for the Lord and for music. Sometimes I just tell myself that my mom reached the highest level of love and life that God wants for each of us, and she just reached it sooner than others. (It makes sense to me!)

Anyway, this is a beautiful post, and I read John’s posts as well, watched the video and cried through all of it. Thanks for sharing her beautiful life.

Pat and I both cried when we read her husband’s entry about her death. What an amazing perspective after just losing the love of your life. She was obviously an awesome woman. Thank you for posting this. I didn’t know her, but just reading through the different entries on the blog, I admire her and her passion for life.

Beautiful post, Kelly. What a beautiful woman and a beautiful spirit. She’s “partying” with Jesus, now, praising the man himself.

It is amazing how many lives she has touched. All the updates I have gotten about her have been from people who don’t know her, but find her and her faith amazing and are praying alongside her. Reading John’s entry was emotional for me as well, and I only hope I could accept that kind of diagnosis with the grace, peace, and faith that they did. It is exciting to think of all that God will do through her passing, even amidst such a painful time.
