"At 5:05pm my momma opened her eyes, smiled really big and started talking to God and passed from this life. Watch out angels! You got competition on the way."

I had actually heard that she died last Saturday and evidently the rumor was widespread. I found out from my brother on Tuesday that she was still alive, but they knew it would be very soon unless God performed a miracle.
I saw Priscilla McGruder for the first time in 1991 when I was 12 years old. They made yearly trips to our AOG church and I loved their music. I'm not sure I ever knew of a person more committed to prayer and being a positive influence on others than she was. It was impossible to be around her and not want to be more like Christ.
The obituary will read that she died today, but she's really just begun to live!
