She was a very loving mom and missed out on the past 3 years of all her kids lives especially; we all have grown up alot since then and I wish that we could have gotten to all spend more time with her, but more importantly we wish that she didn't have to get sick at all. I/we would love to go back in time and be with her; spend more time with her, love her more, let her know that we care! She loved her grandaughter dearly, but she never got to know her that well or spend time with her as she would have liked, when she was born mom was in the hospital the first time when it all began. We wish she could have gotten to know and spend time with her grandaughter.
Our Dad has been so strong and supportive to mom in all of her 3 years of being ill. He has been a great trooper and so high strong and I don't know anyone that would have done what he did. When she was home he took care of her. When she was in the hospital he would be there as much as he could. Wherever she was he would be. She would need a little bit of push to do some things she was suppose to do and would get mad at everyone for nagging her, but it was all for her best interest and she wouldn't have come this far along without any of us on her case all the time. She had many many people that cared for her; especially her husband, children, parents, parent in laws, sisters, sister & brother in laws, nieces & nephews, grandaughter, aunts & uncles, cousins, extended family, FD family, and many friends and acquaintances. She will be dearly missed by all. RIP 4/08/09
Not a day goes by that I don't think about you Mom. I often get discouraged when other's talk about their Mom's. Sometimes its even uncomfortable to be in the same room or engage in their conversations when they speak about their Mom's/ parents. I may even be jealous of my friend's, family or co-worker's relationships with their Mom and angry at the ones' who speak poorly of their Mom/ parents. I would do anything to be able to see you again, hear you voice, give you a hug and tell you how much I love you. I know I cannot and will never be able to do any of those things, it is disheartening. I wish I had more time to be able to make up for my years as a teenager when I was not the nicest person. You went to soon. I was grown up and appreciated you to late. I am sad that you are not with Dad, will miss special events, will never get to see the what becomes of your children, will never get to see your grandchildren, will never see the rest of your family, will never get to see the improvements done to the house and whatever else you will miss. I know you know I love you and that I miss you terribly. You are not in pain anymore and that is what matters most. I will never stop loving you and you will be Forever missed. Love,
Your Daughter
My painful memories, the same day every year
it's the day that I have now come to fear
I know that I will start to cry on the
anniversary of the day you died
The first one that's not a celebration
I know anniversary's are meant to be happy
But just this once, just this time,
Memories I can't forget, that make me cry
Happy Mother's Day to all of you Mom's!! Whether you are blessed to have your mom still with you, or if she is an Angel in Heaven, Remember to tell her how much she means to you and that you Love her.
--We celebrate the life you lived
And all the things you gave us;
Our wonderful memories, Mom, of you
Are the things that will comfort and save us.
Please think of us, as we think of you
With hearts so full of love;
We’re looking up at you, sweet Mom,
As you look at us from above.

Isaiah 25:8: He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. And the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Jehovah himself has spoken [it].
Revelation 21: 3, 4: " With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
