I want to thank our Lord for blessing me with the sweetest, most precious mother a daughter could have. She was a great example of how to be a blessing to others, she loved unconditionally, she always put others before herself, never complained, and was always a lady. She has given me so many wonderful memories to carry in my heart, some of the most treasured were in the last week and moments of her life. I am so very grateful for so much, she was always there for others during their difficult hours, and the Lord in His great mercy, allowed mom to hang on until all of her loved one's could be with her during her last hours , she was very much aware of everyone's presence. The greatest gift we have, is truly knowing and believing that this is just the beginning for mom, she has eternal life, she is young again, and she is whole again. I will miss her with all my heart, I love her dearly, but, I can't help rejoicing knowing she is with dad and they are celebrating her homecoming. Thank you Lord for giving me this precious jewel to be my mom.
