HEAVEN SENT
This page is dedicated to my Special Mother who was the angel in my life. She did not give birth to me but she gave me much more. Her earthly name was Vera Louise Durbin Burgess. Any person who ever knew this woman, would agree that she was indeed an angel of love and mercy. When she was a child, her dreams were largely to own an Orphanage where she could take in all the unwanted children and let them know that they were loved. In her adult life, she and her husband William J. Burgess were foster parents to over a hundred children. This made her not only an angel of love and mercy but also a glorious woman who turned her dream into reality. When she was fighting against cancer, I told her that she needed to be careful as her halo was beginning to show. Whenever someone gets to be so angelic and perfect in every way, it isn't long until the call to come home is issued.

LOOKING DOWN FROM ABOVE

My Mother Angel looking down on us from above, your love guides our every step. How does it feel to wear your new wings and halo? We feel your love just as before. We know each step we take just leads us closer home. You'd have been so unhappy if you could not have prepared our way for us. Just like at Christmas with the hugh feasts and plenty of love FOR ALL you always gave YOUR ALL. Each of your children here on earth walk knowing that we were blessed by your presence in our life. Just tell me, what do you see when you look down upon your Children here in this world, my dear Mother Angel?

THE WOMAN OF LOVE
You, oh woman, have risen to a glorious level.
You sang your angelic song of love on earth.
You were gentle with the touch of an angel to the newborn.
You were stern in love when the teenager tried you.
You are the woman who always laughed and played and worked for the benefit of all.
At the final curtain, you were the one none of us here on earth could so easily release.
When we think of love, we will always think of you.
There are not enough words to catch your essence.
And yet your essence stays in our hearts for all time.
Thank you for teaching us what love really means. The baby's breath.........the Heaven Sent Perfume....Christmas Cookies.....Gingerbread Men.....Blueberry Muffins.......M and M Cake......Bubble Bread......remind me of you. In the wind I hear your gentle voice that was always as an almost "hushed whisper" All that is good and pure and wholesome.. The wonders of life......not elegant or vain but the gentle ever flowing river of gentleness...all these things remind me of you......The best parts of life.....your face comes shining through.....Long ago, you planted seeds in a rebellious teen's life.......seeds of love they were..It took many years before you saw the germination of these seeds. Then one day when I turned into a Nurse, you turned to me and said, "I always knew you could." And then one day as your "heart child" you said to me, "Thank you for coming to Me." These precious seeds of love.......ones that will be inside of me and affect everything I do.....I cry out for you......and yet I try to walk in honor of the loving soul you were.....the wondrous Mother and the good wife......and the Woman of Love......You are the only one who could be," The Woman Named Love."
