In Loving Memory
of
Mama



God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around you and whispered, "Come to me."

With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away,
And though we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.


Daddy was the love of Mom's life . they were together for over fifty years.She didn't know what to do without him by her side.

Do not Weep for Me
Dear loved ones, please do not weep for me. I am now with Jesus, and forever free. I am completely healed, and free of pain. With The Lord, eternally I shall remain. Cherish the memories within your heart. Know that we will never really be apart. Reunited heaven, someday we will be. Continue in the faith and you will see. Do not grieve for the loss of earthly life. Begin today to celebrate the eternal life.

The last four months of her life was horrible, her kidneys failed and she had to go on dialysis three times a week. The treatments took all the strength out of her. She could no longer care for herself, and I was so stressed, I said and did horrible things that I will always regret.

I know that even though I did not deserve it,she always forgave me, but I can not forgive myself.

Most of those last days were spent in the hospital with complications. We lost all hope for recovery. The prognosis was that if she did survive she would have to go to a nursing home. She could no longer communicate but I knew that she would not have wanted to go on like that. We didn't want her to die but We could to let her linger on like that.

We decided to stop the dialysis because it was prolonging her suffering. I held her hand and watched as she struggled each time to take one more breath, I think she was afraid to let go because she didn't want to leave us.

Not long before she left us, She opened her eyes and reached up, I wondered if she saw heaven with Jesus and Daddy reaching out to take her home. I don't know for sure but I want to think of it that way. For now she is reunited in the arms of her beloved, never to be separated again.

Valentine For Mom

I miss you Mom, on this first Valentine's Day.
With a heart of love, you gave your all every day.

You were always loving, patient, and kind.
Your sweet, sweet smile is etched in my mind.

This unconditional love, so simple and plain.
Yet for me it is just seems too difficult to explain.

I am comforted by memories of your sweet love.
I feel your presence watching from heaven above.

I think of you and your sweet love everyday.
I am especially thinking of you this special Day.
