Tribute to You, Mother

When someone we love passes away we ache, but we go on. Our dear departed would want us to heal after they are gon. Grief is a normal way to mend the anguish and pain in our hearts. We need time to remember and time to mourn. Before the recovery starts, lets draw together to recuperate as we go through this period of sorrow. Let's help each other with the tender care to find a brighter tomorrow. Love you Mother!!

Tribute to My Mother

Mother, I could never have asked for a better mom. Yoou are the true definition of a strong, loving, and caring mother. You and father, having eleven children, but  raising us all, was hard. We didn't have much but you made do with what we had and also managed to share with others. You instilled in me that no matter how hard the road gets, just to give it to God and be the bigger person and forgive...in other words, "Let GO and Let God!" I am going to miss not being able to see your presence physically anymore and miss your sense of humor but I will take comofort in knowing that God kept you here on earth for 81 years and I am grateful for that. Take your rest beloved mother. You will forever be in all of our hearts. Love your daughters.
