How do I begin to explain the kind of sadness I am going through. How do I explain the emptiness in my heart. My mother wasn't only my mother but she was my best friend with a terrific sense of humor and a wonderful sense of fairness. Any person that she touched through her lifetime is a better person for it. The last day and time I seen her was probably one of the only times she didn't have a smile on her face. I know she's in heaven and she wasn't afraid to die, she was positive she was going to heaven because she almost made it there around 25 years ago. God chose not to take her then but I guess he needed help in heaven so he called her home. Everyone I have met that knew my Mom said she was always smiling and laughing. I can see her in heaven making the angels smile because her smile was contagious. She spent Christmas this year with my Brother and Father and one day but not to soon I will join them.

I want to thank all the prayer warriors that have helped me though this very tough time and all my friends that stood by me. You are all engraved on my heart.

Mom you mean so much to me and I miss you with all my heart. I hope you feel my love and not my pain. You have graduated from an earth angel, you climbed the stairway to heaven and touched the face of God. I love you Mom, you will be missed by many...You were the biggest little woman I ever knew.

Oh Mom what have you done
You left me and I'm hurting so
I need you more than the short time we had
I miss you so much it's hard to let go

You were my friend when I needed you
Your love shone through your eyes
I held you and cuddled you and let you go
And I said my tearful goodbyes

It was hard to say "It's ok to go"
But the end of your time with us had sadly come
I wanted you here I needed you so
But your work here on earth was finally done

You reached so many with your gentle touch
You had a kind word for everyone
Friends and family will miss you so very much
Your presence was as bright as the summer sun

Oh Mom like I said "what have you done"
You're with God and no longer in pain
Now that the end of your time here had come
The stairway to heaven was walked once again

As I sit and reflect back over the years
I think of you Mother and it brings tears

Tears of a wee baby so helpless and small
you cuddled and cradled me each time I called

Tears of a youngster who's day went all wrong
you wiped the tears from my eyes and sang me a song

Tears of a young lady trying to fit in at school
you taught me to love thy neighbor, the Golden Rule

Tears of a woman with her heart broke in two
you touched my cheek gently, said "they'll be someone new"

And each time that the tears flowed into my life
my best friend, my mother was there with advice

You taught me that after the hurt and the pain
The Lord sends us rainbows to chase away the rain

Mother, these tears that I shed today are for you
I have lost my best friend, I don't know what to do

I must look deep inside myself and find the strength
to remember all the lessons you taught me in length

And now that the Good Lord has taken you away
I will shed one more tear, then I will pray...

"Thank You for Blessing me with the best that there was
Mother took care of me always with her undying love

She always stood fast and was there right by my side
I pray that she knows she was my friend and my guide"

I would have stayed by you Mother no matter how long it took
Now I accept God's decision, and toward Heaven will look

I was there to comfort you, to cradle you, to care
just as your were for me Mother, you were always there

As I sit and reflect back over the years
I think of you Mother and it brings tears

A rose once grew where all could see,
Sheltered beside a garden wall,
And, as the days passed swiftly by,
It spread its branches, straight and tall....

One day, a beam of light shone through
A crevice that had opened wide 
The rose bent gently towards its warmth
Then passed beyond to the other side

Now, you who deeply feel its loss,
Be comforted the rose blooms there
Its beauty even greater now,
Nurtured by God's own loving care.

It takes us back to brighter years, to happier sunlit days,
and to precious moments that will be with us always.
And these fond recollections are treasured in the heart
to bring us always close to those from whom we had to part.
There is a bridge of memories from earth to Heaven above...
It keeps our dear ones near us. It's the bridge that we call love.
