Patricia A. Radaker, 72, of Delphi, died Mon.-Dec. 21, 2015 at 11:30am at Monticello Healthcare Center. On that morning, our dear mother went home to heaven. She will be enjoying Christmas face to face with our Savior, and side by side with many of her loved ones, worshipping at His feet! PRAISE GOD!!! We will miss her intensely, as will many of you, but we could never wish her back here. She has been through more than enough pain for any one lifetime, and now, the hard stuff is finally over for her. She will be enjoying what we still long for, to see our Lord and Maker as He truly is. To fellowship with Him face to face, without hindrance! NOTHING could be better than that!
