Mama, you left me six years ago on November 1st @ 6 p.m. It seems like a lifetime ago since I've seen your precious, soft, smiling little face...yet it seems like it was only yesterday. I've re~lived that moment so-o-o-o many times in my memory...I was holding you in my arms when you left me and departed to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I can still see the look in your eyes...mostly 'cause you wanted to stay and partly 'cause you wanted to go. You wanted to stay 'cause you were afraid that Blake and Johnny wouldn't be taken care of as you'd taken care of them. Well mama, I've taken care of "the brother" as well as I can, and Blake is finally with his mother, where he should be and he's happy,
As usual,it's with a breaking heart that I send these words. Since you've left me, so many things just aren't important to me anymore. Of course, my kids and Lee are not one of the UN-importants. You raised me well to care about my kids and family, for you surely cared for us. There are so many memories I have of you, naturally. Even the small ones are important to me. I remember well: when I was about four years old, we lived in Fallon, Nevada...you would fix me an egg for breakfast and I've never seen ANYONE who could cut up an egg on a plate as fast as you...somehow you made the fork and knife move at the same time and quickly, too. Mama, you were ALWAYS here for me. I could never have told you how much I really love you, there just aren't sufficient words. Now, rest till Jesus comes and we'll once again be re~united...I look forward to that day..;just as The Word of God tells us: The trumpet will sound, and only those of us who are listening and tuned in will hear it, and then we'll be together again, NEVER TO SAY GOODBYE AGAIN.I love you, mama....
