2014 peacefully at the age of 72. I spoke to my mother last Monday, as
I did every Monday, but this Monday was special because it was her birthday.
Little did I know that in 2 days she would be gone. My Mother loved me,
my husband Bob, and her 3 grandchildren, Peter, Bobby, and Lilliana dearly.
My mother was the best Mom and Grandmom anyone could ask for. My first
book is dedicated to her because she is the reason I am a Christian. The
most wonderful quality my mother had was that she loved The Lord and she
passed that down to me. During her life she was always the friend to the
friendless and had a fierce love of animals. Just like she could never
turn away a stray animal, she couldn't turn her back on stray people.
She lived the Bible through the way she conducted her life and always
put others before herself. Because of this, she led many souls to Christ,
and that is what really matters in life. I know she is with Jesus right
now and He is telling her "Well done thy good and faithful servant,"
well done Mom. We love you and miss you always. You fought long and hard
for many years yet you were always there for me and my family whenever
I needed you because you were the most selfless and sacrificing person
I've ever known. You can finally rest now in freedom, the pain and disease
are gone and you can just lay back in the arms of our Saviour. When I
get to Heaven, you will be the first person I will look for. We love you
Mom! Love, Linda, Bob, PJ, Bobby, and Lilliana.
