I will remember you...


My sweet Mom went home to be with the Lord last night. 
A woman of great character with a servant's heart 
was welcomed into Heaven into the open arms of her Lord. 
She was greeted by her two sons, and the sweetheart of her life, Dad.
I couldn't ask for anything more...

My comfort comes from this verse:
Matthew 6:19-21
19Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, 
where moth and rust doth corrupt, 
and where thieves break through and steal:
 20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, 
where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, 
and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
 21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

So, Mom, My heart is there with you, 
Dad, David and Richard...and in a little while,
We will never have to say goodbye again.
What a sweet way to celebrate the promise of Easter this year.

I love and miss you already and am blessed greatly
for having you as my Mom.

  1. I know your heart is breaking again. I am so sorry for your pain. I am so glad you know the Father because when the hard times ahead come, when there is no comfort, all that can carry us through is to know this earth is not our final destination.

    You have been on my heart for days. Your faith is an inspiration for others.
