Missing Mom so very much as this month of August is the anniversary of her passing from her earthly home to her heavenly home. Remembering how hard living had become for Mom I cannot wish her back but I miss her love, her voice, her companionship, her advice, HER. I am so thankful that Mom knew Jesus as her Lord and Saviour and that she imparted that faith to me and all the family so we have the assurance of our future reunion in Heaven and being together for eternity. I am comforted now thinking of Mom in God's loving care, reunited with Dad and her family, sitting at the heavenly banquet table and strolling thru the heavenly gardens.
Health and sight restored. I love her and miss her so much and as always I am so thankful that she is my mother.

Maureen,
I hope you remember me. I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. I lost mine 10 years ago and was lucky enough to have her out here with me for a few years.
I hope heaven looks like Ireland.

"If you ever go across the sea to Ireland
Then maybe at the closin' of your day
You will sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay.
And if there's to be a life in the hereafter
And somehow I'm sure there's going to be
I will ask my God to let me make my heaven
In that dear land across the Irish sea."
With deepest sympathy.
She was a lovely lady.

Our deepest sympathies are extended to the Tait family for your loss. I won't ever forget her bright outlook, her Sherry on a winter's day, or her CocaCola aplenty for the children like myself who were fortunate enough to know her. I hope Heaven is not "too vast" for you, Mrs.Tait!
