My beautiful mother was brought to be on earth October 20th, 1932
and she went home to be with God on April 18th, 2003

Never have I known a more beautiful and stronger woman.
I only hope to be half the woman she was.

Dear Mother, Dear Mom

I missed you today just like I do everyday now. I don't know if in those last few months if i said I love you each time we parted but it was always there. I know you worried about me alot too and I was stressed, even more than I knew. But looking back I still would not give up taking care of you these last few years. It made me stronger and it made me softer. Oh it was not easy and many days I complained to someone but being able to give something back to you was worth it. I only hope that you felt the love that was intended and nothing more. It was rough in the end and I think everyone knew that. I am scared mom, scared of being here on earth without you. Sounds so funny now...from a grown woman. But I feel like I have so much more to learn from you. Yes learn from you. I know what your thinking...I never listened to you. But I did. I still do. I can hear your voice when I get upset with my kids..."patience Michell". I can see your hands cooking with love in the kitchen when i want to make a nice meal. I have your creative ability. Your love of music and even your love of flowers. I want you to know that you will be missed greatly and you will never be forgotten. Never forgotten by my children...Michael stills ask for his lotion. Myra likes to wear her perfume like grandma did. I know Mike misses your cooking...thank goodness you taught me to cook...someday I will be there Mom...for you I will be there. As for me mom I will remember something you said for the rest of my life, "Never let them see you without your lipstick". I won't mom...I will learn to let go of the negatives of life and keep on looking to the beautiful things it offers. It will show on my face. I love you mother, I love you mom.
Forever your redheaded daughter,
Michell
