Psalms 27:4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. We love you so much!

The loss of my mother has left a hole in my heart that can never be filled. She was an amazing mother to me. Not many people experience unconditional love and I was fortunate enough to have that from her. What most don't really know is that she would of moved mountains for her children if she could. When I was happy, she was happy. When I cried, she cried. When I talked, she listened. I spoke with her on the phone just about every day from 12 years old to 29 years old and then I received a letter daily when I was institutionalized. When I needed someone the most, she was always in the right mind set to be there for me and just listen without judgement. I have never heard her say a bad word about anyone or gossip. She never judged anyone and was the most generous person. I gave her money everytime i visited her and when I told her I didn't have any money because I wasn't doing well. She handed me a bag the next visit with over 1500 and said she was saving all the money I gave her for when I would need it. She was always full of surprises and had such a good memory. She was also a great singer. Since I can remember until our last conversations before she became ill , she would sing every word of bye bye miss American pie. Over my lifetime I have been dropping off packages filled with money, cigarettes, candy, clothes, jewelry, etc...some people would feel this was a burden but, she would of done the same thing for me if the tables were turned. She gave most away to the less fortunate patients that had no family. She was loved by all and had more love in her heart than most people can imagine. She always asked about Johnny every call and always said i love you before hanging up. She was my rock, my support, my listener, my friend and my biggest fan. She was my mother and the best mother she could of been. I miss you every moment and my heart will never be the same. I love you dearly!!
