Mom Loved being with the kids

My Sweet Momma, Always put others before herself... Always doing kind things for everyone. She worked so hard all her life and Lived and Loved her Family more than anyone I know. After Daddy and Rena were called to Heaven, I had the chance to really become buddies with My Momma, I never wanted her to get lonely and be sad, Many and I do mean many, Chey and I would pack up the bags and drive towards Boston to Stay the night, Eat Junk Food, Act silly and Laugh till are tummies hurt, Looking over at Mom on the love seat I felt so Happy to be at Home with Her. God called an Angel back to Heaven because she sure was an Angel on earth. I don't know how life will be the same ever for Me and my Family without Momma, I do know that she is so happy to have been able to hug Jesus, My Daddy, Rena, Her Mom and so many others. I asked the Lord to show me his will, Either he would heal Mom earthly or he would do it Heavenly, His will was for her to go Home. God has held each of us up and together since June 10th when she went to Reid, it was a long journey, But by the Grace of Our Lord, He wrapped us in his arms and he Showed his Love and Comfort. Wonderful Mother's Like Momma will always be missed by all whom knew her.
