Thank you so much for sharing that with us, Kelly. You can just never know how much your Mom meant to me. As I am reading this tribute to her, I am sitting her shaking my head, thinking to myself. Yes! That is exactly right. That is just the way she said things. That is just what she would have told me. There were many many times when my toddlers were being a handful, or my heart was too full waiting for God to move in my life, that your Mom stepped in and reminded me of the kind of woman that I really wanted to be.
She will always be remembered and though she asked to be remembered as a rose, I like to think of her as my special rose, that God send to be my sweet friend to speak the words to me in ways that only she could have done!
hugs & prayers
Jessie

Kelly, thank-you for sharing that, it was beautiful. Nothing like having a family member do the eulogy, it is so much nicer and means so much more. After all it is family who knew them the best. With tears in my eyes I know exactly where Zhenelle is right now, I lost my beloved grandma on Easter sunday this year. My thoughts are with you and your family, I pray for you all.
Warm Wishes
Jennifer

Alee...I so agree! There was not a dry eye in the church, but the tears were happy remembrances...
Thank you all for your kind words...she was-is- a lovely lady.

That was so beautiful, thanks so much for sharing it. Kelly, your mother meant a lot to me too. As she lived with cancer she inspired me with her grace and honesty about how things were going. When I went through it this summer too I would think about things she had written about how she was dealing with it and I tried to be like her, taking things as they came.
I sit here with tears now thinking how much we will miss her, but also I know she's in a better place now. And I'm still remembering how much she taught me and will always be inspired by her and her life. God bless you and your family Kelly.

Kelly,
Thank you for including us and sharing those sweet memories with us. The eulogy was beautiful!
I know the cemetary you spoke of as I grew up in that area up there. I hope sometime when we go home for a visit that I can visit there.
hugs,
God is good....all the time.

Kelly,
I too extend a heartfelt message to you. In one of the most difficult times of life, God is there to comfort you. He knows full well your pain. He experienced it too. What a blessing your Mother has been to you and your family. What wonderful memories. She will be blessed as she beholds the face of God. And you will find comfort to know, that she is in His very presence.
Blessings to you and your family, as you make difficult decisions, and the hardship you are in during these last days.
May the God of all comfort, comfort you.
Sheri

Thank you for your kind words and expressions of friendship for my mom. I am hoping she can see these in heaven so that she knows how many people she touched.
It is so strange not to call her every day after school and tell her about my day! I have already told my dad, who hates talking on the phone, that he better get used to talking to me every day!!

Kelly, my mom and I talk all the time, too. I just can't even imagine what it would be like. Any time you need to talk, just come on here and let it all out. Sometimes I need to do that, too. Mothers are so special, especially as we get older. We realize how smart they really are when we get older. There's nothing like asking my mom for advice or suggestions about how to do something. I know I'll miss that so much. But you have such wonderful memories of your mom that can never be taken away from you.
Hugs, Kris
Happiness is simple. |

Kelly, I read this last week and couldn't type through the tears. It's still hard to type now! My prayers go out to you and your family at this time! I can't imagine not being able to talk to my mom! Your mom was such a sweetheart and I am so glad that I got to know her even a little bit! I even had the great pleasure of sending her a book about making dolls. She will be missed by all of us here!

Kelly, I just read the posts and I am so sorry for your loss. I had bartered a few times with her and she was so generous. I hope you and your family find peace in knowing that she is sitting with our Lord and is painfree now. God Bless and prayers being said for you and your family.
