Ma, my memories of you are how hard you worked to make a nice home, you amazed me, when i saw how you upholstered this big chair in our living room! It was an expert work, You always made us good meals i remember the Sunday dinners the roasts and boiled dinners and so much more. As a seamstress you were skilled we had beautiful home made clothes that i was proud to wear. You always wanted us to look nice well dressed . i recall how you would sing french songs, and how you enjoyed playing cards with family members. Your favorite was bingo, a hobby you very much enjoyed as you met many friends who were so very kind to you, that was a blessing. Ma i am going to miss all those times we played scrabble, and how you loved to win, we had lots of fun together playing that game and i cherish the memories. Ma, i want to say thank you i will miss you but on the " up side Heavenside " i am so happy that you are with the LORD your life is truly beginning up there for eternity, we will meet again one day and rejoice together as Mother and daughter, i love you Ma.
