Mom, you will be missed so much. You are the strongest woman I know. You endured pain daily for so long, yet complained so little. You stuck to your beliefs always, no matter what others thought or said. Even when you left us for the Lord, you worried about us, not yourself. I hope I can draw from your strength to get through this sorrow. I love you Mom

How do you say goodbye to someone you've never met? That's a question I can't answer as I've met you many times. Our meetings commonly took place in a Mesa,AZ kitchen over coffee. I met you in the retelling of memories from your daughter, Ruth. I met you in her smile, the warmth that exudes from her, and your spirit that resides in her family. So farewell, Ms. Carol, until we meet again in the retelling of memories...
