Mom.. You were the best. You taught me about God and Faith and always lived your beliefs. You never made me feel bad when I disappointed you and there were many times.
I have many great memories of our family times. Times we laughed, and times we cried. But we were a Family that loved one another always.
A few days before you left us, you called my name as I walked away from your side. I came back and told you I was there. You puckered your lips and I gave you a kiss. You mumbled that you loved me and those were the last works that I could make out before you died a few days later. I will treasure them always, just like I will treasure my memories of you.
I will miss you every day, just like I did Dad when he left us. I know you and Dad are walking hand in hand, laughing with Jesus and your other loved ones that are there with you. We have the hope that we will be reunited one day, and that is a hope that you installed in me.
Be at Peace Mom Your little girl, Lois
