My Mom enjoyed her life to the fullest.Never complained about being ill or sad. Always had a helping hand for others didn't matter who or where you came from. Her door was always open. Family life was a plus for her. She loved her children unconditionally. Did the best she could and taught the best way possible.
I'm grateful for everything good and bad,everything was a lesson to learn. It showed me when to give a smile, a hand, or my back. Life is too short and she believed what you do and say to other or falsely acused, you will see in the one you love the most.She was never lost for words. My mom had the biggest HEART ever.
She loved White Roses she said they looked peaceful, eventhough her favorite color was RED and Marilyn Monroe & Betty Boop were her girls. She also loved driving fast and listening to chimes like me.
Learn as if you were going to live forever. Live as if you were going to die tomorrow.

I miss you so much, my days are so sad without you. I can't stand the pain it has
NOT gotten easier. Help me.

My Mom loved being in the backyard by the pool, she felt relaxed there. She would go there to catch butterflies and place them in books,bible,magazines and even frame them. I would always ask her not to do that because she is making their life shorter than it already is. She answered, "life is short,when I die I'm coming back as a butterfly" . Now,eversince My Mom earned her wings I feel her presence when I see a butterfly. I don't catch them
because I want her love to be with me forever, I don't want to see them dead.
