professional picture done only because it was through the church
they attended. I only wish that one day I find a love as precious
as their's is and was throughout their lives. My Mom died 13 days
short of what would have been their 40th Wedding Anniversay.
Thanks for the time that you've given me,
The memories are all in my mind,
And now that we've come to the end of our rainbow,
There's something I must say out loud,
You're Once, Twice, Three Times the lady..
And I love you,
You're once, twice three times a lady,
And I love you....
And I Love you....
When we are together the moments I cherish
With every beat of my heart,
To Touch you, to hold you,
to feel you, to need you
Theres nothing to keep up apart....
You're once twice three times a lady
and I love you..........
and I love you..........
I chose this song because my Mother was
More then three times the lady, She was pure
Unselfish love and devotion to her family,
She gave and gave all her life and never
Asked for anything in return, she just loved
With every fiber of her being, she just loved....
When tomorrow starts without me,
and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things,
we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name,
and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready,
in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind,
all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from His great golden throne,
He said, This is eternity,
and all I've promised you;.
Today for life on earth is past,
but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day,
there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did
some things,
you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
and now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand
and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart,
for everytime you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.

Mom, you were my best friend.
Always there for me.
Good times,
Not so good times,
Whenever I needed you.
I miss you.
I can't imagine life without you.
No one knows me Like you.
Who will I call
When I have some great news
Or when I just need someone to listen?
A best friend.
Peace, no pain for you now.
But you left an emptiness
I can not fill.
My best friend.
Gone.
What do I do?
by Ted Miller, son of Lois
By the time the Lord made mothers, he was into his
sixth day of working overtime. An Angel appeared and said
Why are you spending so much time on this one
And the Lord answered and said, Have you seen the
spec sheet on her? She has to be completely washable,
but not plastic; have 200 movable parts, all replaceable;
run on black coffee and leftovers; have a lap that can hold
three children at one time and that disappears when she stands up;
have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a
broken heart, and have six pairs of hands.
The Angel was astounded at the requirements for
this one. Six pairs of hands! No Way! said the Angel.
The Lord replied, Oh, it's not the hands that are the problem.
It's the three pairs of eyes that mothers must have!
And that's just on the standard model The Angel asked.
The Lord nodded in agreement, Yes, one pair of eyes
are to see through the closed door as she asks her
children what they are doing even though she already
knows. Another pair in the back of her head, are to see
what she needs to know even though no one thinks
she can. And the third pair are here in the front of
her head. They are for looking at an errant child and
saying that she understands and loves him or her
without even saying a single word.
The Angel tried to stop the Lord. This is too much
work for one day. Wait until tomorrow to finish.
But I can't! the Lord protested, I am so close to
finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart.
She already heals herself when she is sick AND can
feed a family of six on a pound of hamburger and can get a
nine year old to stand in the shower.
The Angel moved closer and touched the woman,
But you have made her so soft, Lord.
Yes, she is soft, the Lord agreed, But I have also
made her tough. You have no idea what she can
endure or accomplish.
Will she be able to think, asked the inquisitive Angel.
The Lord smiled and replied, Not only will she be
able to think, she will be able to reason, and negotiate.
The Angel then noticed something and reached out
and touched the woman's cheek. Oops, it looks like
you have a leak with this model. I told you that you
were trying to put too much into this one.
That's not a leak. The Lord objected. That is a tear!
What's the tear for? the Angel asked.
The Lord said, The tear is her way of expressing
her joy, her sorrow, her disappointment, her pain,
her loneliness, her grief, and her pride.
The Angel was impressed. You are a genius, Lord.
You thought of everything! Truly,
You do all things well...
Moms are truly amazing!
