Mom:
We had a miscomunication with the eulogy at your services. I thought I would post it here for all to read.
To tell you the truth I had a hard time putting all my Mom’s good traits into writing. No matter how hard I try, I can never do justice to what she overcame in her lifetime. I know we are all grieving today for we all lost a great lady. But I know wherever she is now she’s happy. Pain free and contented with what she left us. She has had a grand reunion with Dad & David and that should make us smile.
She was a wife, a mother, a Nana, a sister and a friend to all of us. I’m sure each and every one of you here today has something to share on how my Mom touched your life. She shared a lot of good memories, especially with David & I. Over the past 25 years Mom & I shared lots of things together, she was my constant companion and best friend. I don’t know if I can still be the same person I was now that she’s gone.
She was also the kind of person that would think about other people before herself. She never liked asking for help but she was always ready to lend a helping hand to others. She would do everything in her power to help other people.
Although she never got the chance, I think in her own way she was able to show us how important we all were to her. We may no longer see her but we’ll always have these special moments we shared with her. She will always have a special part in our hearts. Let’s just be thankful that we knew a special lady like my Mom.
If we were to ask EL her proudest moment in life she would be quick to say it was the day that Ashley Margaret Keizer entered the world.
Mom is in heaven now and we are here at her funeral. This is not the time for us to grieve her death but it's our time to celebrate her life. Don't ever forget Mom. She never wanted to see people cry. She wanted to make everyone happy. So at this moment, let's all think back and remember how Mom touched our lives. How she made us laugh and how good Mom was as a person. This is not the moment for us to shed our tears but we should all be thankful that we were given the chance to have a lady named El. MOM will forever be missed but I know in the right time, we will meet Mom again and she'll make us laugh.
I miss you more than I thought possible. You were my best friend.
Love,
Deb
