It has been a year today since you left us, and went to heaven Mom. There isn't a day that we don't miss you. I look at your picture everyday, and talk to you.

You loved all your children, even with all their faults. You always saw the good in all of us. You appreciated everything that anyone did for you. A lot of things have changed since you left, and in some ways nothing has changed. You were the one that kept us together. You didn't like arguments, and you had your way of...

Mom, today is the first anniversary since your leaving us to be with the Lord. I'm sure in the past year you have experienced much love and seen things beyond our comprehensive that are both beautiful and glorious. We are very glad you are being taken care of by God and our Lord Jesus. Your children find much rest in this, making it easier to accept your being gone from us. We are however, looking forward to the day when we will see you again, and find comfort in knowing God promises this...

Today is the first holiday since our Mom left us. Mom, you were in all our thoughts. You are missed by all of us. I know that you are always close to us.

I know that you are praying for good things to happen in our lives. We have had some good things happen. I know that you are proud of the changes that have taken place.

You always hoped that we would stick together, and we are trying to do that. You were a good mother who had a lot of challenges in your life. You taught us to...

I found one of many poems about the way I feel about mom. I want to share this one with my family. I will always love you Mom. We never realize what we have until we lose it. We can only hope to learn from her love she had for life and her family. I will forever miss you my friend.

What is a Mother Worth?

I humbly appraise my mother's worth,
It all began with pain to give me birth,

Which triggered off a love so strong,
Blossoming into a life-long...

Two months have passed since Mom's passing and it seems just like yesterday we said our goodbyes. It probably was the hardest thing I had to do in my lifetime and she went out with a bang. It was glorious, Amen! We were all around her praising God and asking the Holy Spirit to take her from this place to the next, and she went out peacefully as she asked the Lord to do for her. I use to listen to people speak of the difficulties they would have by not having their Mother here and it really...

God is very lucky to have another angel up in Heaven to be near Him. Those of us left here are lucky to have another angel in Heaven watching over us.

Grandma you have definitely made your mark on the world with all of the wonderful children you had. I may be your first grandchild, but with all the others that followed me there will be many stories that will always keep your memory alive in our hearts.

Say hi to all the other angels up there for me. I know you will always...

Happy 88th birthday Grandma. We miss you, but we know that you are happy where you are. You get a hug from God on your birthday. That is awesome !!

Love, Emily

Happy birthday Mom !!

On the day of Mom's funeral I did something I had never done before. I wanted to talk about our Mom, because she was a very special lady. I am shy, and I was always too afraid to talk in front of a lot of people. When I was in front of everyone, and opened the book, I did not find the letter I had written, that I wanted to have read. It wasn't there, only the priests notes. Since it was a first time in front of that large of a crowd, my mind went blank, my story...
