Dear Elizabeth, Our Sympathy goes out to you and the family in the great loss of your Mom. We cherish her smile, warm kindness, good nature, much too short time together . Best person ever; with a daughter she could always be proud of. God is GOOD , ALL TIME...may you feel HIS LOVE and COMFORTING HAND guiding you through this sad time. A poem i like to share.... BLESSINGS OF GOD'S LOVE Each day I thank the Lord above, For these: the blessings of His love, The emerald grass beneath my feet, The scent of roses; soft and sweet; The coolness of a summer breeze, The sound of birds in budding trees, The laughter of a child at play, The golden sun at dawn of day; The warmth of spring that fills the air, The fruitful birth where ground was bare, The waves that dance upon the Sea, The wonder of what life can be; The love of friends, the joy of birth, The miracle of Mother Earth, The winter, summer, spring, and fall, I thank the Lord I've shared them all. ( she did... we will meet again when JESUS returns) by -- PATRICIA EMME LOVE, Mary & Arend Gilligan
