15 years ago you got your wings, and I can't believe it has been that long. I still see your face, hear your voice, and miss your laughter. I love you Mom. Until we meet again.

Mom, I saw this poem and thought about you. I look at it often and it helps me cope with the loss of my best friend and hero. I LOVE and MISS YOU DEARLY!

God looked around his garden
and seen an empty place.
He looked down upon the earth
and seen your tired face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful because he always take the best.
He knew that you were suffering,
he knew that you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
get well on earth again.
He saw the road were getting rough and the hills were to big to climb,so he closed you weary eyeslids and whispered "peace in time."
It broke our hearts to lose you
but you didn't go alone, for part of us went with you the day God called you home.

To everyone who shared my mom's life I thank you and hope that your faith in Christ will comfort you as it does me and the family. We watched her suffer and know she is dancing with Terry, her mother, and father that she so dearly missed. I love you all as she loved you too.

Karen my friend, you are truly missed. You will be in my heart always. I was so glad when we found each other again after all these years. I felt as close to you as a sister. You are now in a better place, and at peace. Some day I will be joining you. I will always stay close to you with my friendship with your daughter Darcy and I keeping in touch.

Love you so much,

Bev
