Vickie and Sebrena, I am so sorry to read of your Mother’s passing. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers !
I know my Mom is in such a better place now & no longer is she suffering from the pain that she endured for so many years. That makes me so happy & the fact that she is with my Daddy again is what keeps me going each day but my heart is aching because I miss her so much. She was such a big part of who I am & I talked to her almost daily. I miss that so much. Mom, I will always love you & miss you. We will all be together again one day & until that time I know I have to pass on what you taught me to my girls & to Ali. You are so loved & missed. Thank you for everything you taught me about life & how to treat people. I’ll see you at home.
My Mom was one of the most kind, caring, and loving people that God put on this earth. She was a devoted Christian and lived it every day of her life. She was my Mom, my teacher, and most of all she was my Best friend! I will miss her more than words can say but I know it was time for her to go home with her Lord and Savior.Now my Dad and her are both in heaven with God and I know they are much better off and happier than any of us could even imagine.They have gone to their eternal home and one day we will all be together again.Where ever we may roam your always in my heart.We are bound by God and our never ending love. I will carry you with me in my heart and soul always. As Daddy and you always said ‘ I’ll see you at the house when we all get home.What a beautiful day that will be! Until we meet again all my Love My Dear Sweet Mom.
