Maripat Hagen

I read about the recent death of Maripat and I know the Hagen, Nerlin family and loved ones have saddened hearts today. So I wanted to share this beautiful scripture where our heavenly father, Jehovah, (Psalm 83:18), promises us that he is going to do away with man's greatest enemy, death. Rev. 21: 4; "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. Isaiah 33:24 guarantees us: "And no resident will say "I am sick," ever again. God's kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for at Matt. 6: 9, 10 will bring about these wonderful promises, including the resurrection. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, but we are all guaranteed a resurrection. (John 5:28, John 6:40, John 11:23-25) Also, Titus 1: 2 tells us this promise of a resurrection: "is based on a hope of the everlasting life that God, who cannot lie, promised long ago." Isaiah 26:19 "Your dead will live......And the earth will let those powerless in death come to life." Isaiah 25:8 "He will swallow up death forever. For Jehovah himself has spoken it."

Jehovah invites you to throw all your burdens on him and he will sustain you in your time of grief. It is my prayer this scripture will give you comfort in your grief.

We are so lucky! We are so lucky to have met Maripat and to have shared a very special bond almost instantly. What an amazing woman! So talented and so engaging. A lifeline learner. An historian. Someone who could talk to anyone on a hundred different subjects and also made you feel so important. Almost like you were the only one in the world when she was talking to you. She was warm, kind and friendly and her Montana Roots go so deep. She was a Montana Gem for sure! We met Maripat only in the last year but she will always have a special place in our heart forever. So yes, we are quite lucky. Lucky to have known her. Lucky to have loved her. And lucky to remember her for the rest of our lives. Kris, Bill and Haley Budigan Seattle, Washington
