Crossed Over..

For those of you have not yet heard, my Romanian grandmother passed away Wednesday, November 20th, approximately 6:50 p.m. I'm glad she lived so close that I saw her a few times a week.




In Memory of

Doina Borlovan

September 23, 1943 - November 20, 2013

Obituary

Doina Borlovan, age 70, native of Timisoara, Romania and long time resident of Mobile,
 Alabama received her reward and went home to be with our Lord and Savior, Jesus 
Christ on Wednesday, November 20, 2013.
A devoted Christian wife and mother, Doina (our darling "Mama") lived a life that truly
 reflected her character of pure gold. She fulfilled her calling in life as a faithful homemaker,
 raising thirteen children and was a true example of a real mother and Christian lady in every
 way.We are comforted by the assurance of knowing we will be reunited with her very soon.
She was preceded in death by her father Gavril Nai and mother, Iosana Nai. Left to cherish 
her memory are her husband of 51 years, Mihai Borlovan; 13 children: son Dorel Borlovan (Kathy),
 daughter Mariana Reavis (Daniel), daughter Daniela Bray (Matthew), son Mihai Borlovan Jr. (Amanda),
 daughter Doina Taylor (Curtis), son Ioan Borlovan (Kimberly), son Corneliu Borlovan,
 daughter Monica Black (Robert), daughter Irina Baumgartner (Jonathan), 
daughter Lavinia Cogdill (Michael), son Samuel Borlovan (Sharon), son William Borlovan (Gabrielle),
 son Joshua Borlovan (Hannah); 33 grandchildren; her twin sister Emilia Nai; and several nieces and 
nephews. Funeral service will be held Monday, November 25, 2013 at Mobile Memorial Gardens with
 visitation starting one hour prior to services. Interment will follow in Mobile Memorial Gardens. 


She was such a sweet woman, and a wonderful Christian example. It was always so enjoyable to listen to her
thick Romanian accent as she shared recipes, and even just to see her watch everyone quietly. We all
miss her dearly, but it is nice to have the reassurance that she's a young woman, looking something like the
black and white picture above, for all eternity.

"  E-6    Then you're--you're living up till that time, and then you're dying. You're going back until the
 day that it'll finally conquer you, and your cells deteriorate, go back into the dust of the earth. But God
 don't lose nothing. He knows right wherever He had them in the first place. If He didn't, how did they
 ever come on you? Nobody didn't paste it on you and makes you bigger. You just pushed out and
 drove, and pushed out till they come to the regular size. Is that right? Then all that death can do for
 you is take you out of this life.
And some writer said one time said, "The only thing death could do to a believer, that God harnessed
 it to a buggy, and it pulls the believer in the Presence of his Maker (That's a good idea. Is that right?),
 just pulls him right up to God. And then that's--that's all it can do."

 "293    One of these glorious spring mornings, when all of it's over; and the atomic bombs done bursted
 the world and sent her over yonder, and she's whirled around through the years, and been purified,
 brought back; and the palm trees will rise up in the earth again, a resurrection of all nature, like God 
did in the beginning. There'll be no pollution in the soil. There'll be no pollution in the air. And the palm
 trees, there'll be no germs or diseases to ever break them down again. The apple trees will never get old. 
Hallelujah. She'll raise up. And some glorious, beautiful morning, when the big birds are flying from tree
 to tree, Jesus shall appear here on earth again. And when He does, those that are dead in Christ, God 
will bring with Him.
We'll come up on an Easter morning too, meet our loved ones and greet them. Won't that be a
 wonderful time?"

 Although for a time she has left our presence, she will never leave our hearts. 
                                 
                                                                                                                      With love,
