Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.

When I think of my Mother in Law (Helga) this is what comes to mind.
She loved like no one else. I am so blessed to have had her in my life.
We didn't always agree about things but she never let disagreement interfere with her love for you.
Helga I LOVE You!! I miss you SOOO much! 
Family was everything to You. Your kids, grandkids and great grandkids.
We know what Love is because of you.
From beginning to end, the rituals of our lives shape each hour, day, and year. . . . If you understand them, you may enrich them. In this way the habits of a lifetime become sacred.
This is what Helga did. She may not think so but her Love and Generosity touched the lives of so many people who will carry it with them forever.

I am truly blessed to have a mother with such a loving and caring heart. She touched the hearts of so many with her out pouring of love to all. She was always there for us, giving beyond expectations with nothing in return. She always saw the good in people and never gave up keeping us in-line. She may have left us, but her voice and her pointed finger, reminding us of what we should do, will be a memory that will stay with me forever! -- "God made a wonderful mother, A mother who never grows old; He made her smile of the sunshine. And He molded her heart of pure gold; In her eyes He placed bright shining stars, In her cheeks fair roses you see; God made a wonderful mother, And He gave that dear mother to me".
