My Angel Mom

I lost my mom in September of 2005.
She was 86 years old and had diabites. She was one of
the sweetest people I knew and a great friend to me.
She suffered alot before she died but she still
never got angry.

I loved her so much, and was very close to her.
She lived in W.Va. and I live in Ohio, so we talked on the
phone to each other every day.

My mom was so special that it has been very hard for
me to get over her death. I am trying to get into some
grief counseling to try to make sense of it all.

Thank you for visiting my mom's page.
A special page, for a very special woman.

I'M FREE

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God laid for me.

I took His hand when I heard him call,
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that place at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things, I too will miss.

Be not burdened wth times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life's been full, I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.

Perhaps my time seems all to brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.

COME WITH ME

The Lord saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be,
So He put his arms around you
And whispered, "Come with me."

With tearful eyes, we watched you suffer
And saw you fade away,
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
A beautiful smile at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove
He only takes the best.

It's lonesome here without you
We miss you so each day,
Our lives aren't the same
Since you went away.

When days are sad and lonely,
And everything goes wrong,
We seem to hear you whisper,
"Cheer up and carry on."

Each time we see your picture,
You seem to smile and say,
"Don't cry, I'm in God's keeping,
We'll meet again someday."
