Dearest Mother,

Once again it’s so very hard to believe that it has been 24 months, 730 days or 17520 hours since we last felt your precious heartbeat!

Dearest Mother,

It's so very hard to believe that 12 months...365 days ...8760 hours have passed since we last felt your precious heartbeat! In many ways it feels as though this bad dream, this nightmare began only yesterday but in other ways, it feels as though a lifetime has passed!

You mean so much to our family, Mom...

You have been and always will be at the very heart of our family.

You've touched our lives and warmed our hearts in so many meaningful ways.

Life has brought many changes but nothing can or ever will change how very much you mean to us dear Mother!

Be happy and healthy in the arms of God above! We love you and we miss you so, our blessed treasure!

We will forever and always love and miss you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️



                            ❤  Dearest Mom  ❤️

You've given our family so many reasons to be grateful for your love !

You've been an incredible role model, a teacher, an advisor, a best friend...

A constant source of reassuring confidence.

You've sacrificed and celebrated,

Hoped and dreamed,

Prayed and planned.

With all the miracles you've worked and 

the blessings you've brought to our family,

It's no wonder we think of you as our own special angel ...

our heavenly angel who continues to love us and to guide us forever.

We love you and miss you deeply! You will always be our treasure from God!

Sending love and hugs to Heaven to wish you a Happy Birthday! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

When Mom was being waked, a dear friend referred to her as "The Queen Mother".  I thought that her comment was a beautiful testament to our dear Mother and the love that she bestowed upon each of us!  In our eyes, she is the Queen of all Mothers so as she deservingly and proudly wears her Heavenly crown we might consider this poem that I once read ...

Heaven lit up with a mighty presence as the Angels all looked down ...Today the Lord was placing the jewels into my mother’s crown.

He held up a golden crown as my darling mother looked on ... He said in His gentle voice ', I will now explain each one.’

‘The first gem,’ He said, ‘is a Ruby and it’s for endurance alone.  For all the nights you waited up for your children to come home.’

‘For all the nights by their bedside you stayed till the fever went down.  For nursing every little wound add this ruby to your crown.’

‘An emerald, I’ll place by the ruby for leading your child in the right way ... For teaching them the lessons,that made them who they are today.’

‘For always being right there through all life’s important events ... I give you a sapphire stone for the time and love you spent.’

‘For untying the strings that held them when they grew up and left home ... I give you this one for courage.’then the Lord added a garnet stone.

‘I’ll place a stone of amethyst,’ He said 'for all the times you spent on your knees. When you asked if I’d take care of your children and then for having faith in Me.’

‘I have a pearl for every little sacrifice that you made without them knowing. For all the times you went without to keep them happy, healthy and growing.’

‘And last of all I have a diamond, the greatest one of all ... For sharing unconditional love whether they were big or small.’

‘It was your love that helped them grow feeling safe and happy and proud . A love so strong and pure it could shift the darkest cloud.’

After the Lord placed the last jewel  in He said, ‘Your crown is now complete ... You’ve earned your place in Heaven with your children at your feet.’

We love you forever Dearest Mother...

She gave the gift of laughter and dried her share of tears.

She left her mark on many lucky lives all throughout the years.

She spread a lot of love around.

She shed a world of light.

And in the memories she left behind, her spirit still shines bright. ❤️
