Mom is now one of our Angels

I know I haven't been on in a long time...just wanted to let you all know Mom's journey has ended after 2 years and 2 mos. of fighting on Saturday March 2nd at home. She was a fighter if I know one...Onc stated in October she shouldn't be able to hear with the amt of tumors in her head, through out her bones and lungs. Onc also said she only had a couple of weeks and that was back than...

I want to read you one of her prayer cards that also my brother had read instead of the litergy that was suppose to have been read at the church.

Also one of the songs we chose to have the pianist play was one of my Mom's favorite...she lit up when it came on the radio, it also was the first at the church to be played...Bruno Mars "Just the way you are"

If Roses Grow in Heaven            

If Roses grow in Heaven

Lord, please pick a bunch for me.

Place them in my mother's arms

and tell her they're from me.

Tell her that I love her

and miss her,

and when she turns to smile,

place a kiss upon her cheek

and hold her for awhile.

Because remembering her is easy,

I do it everyday,

but there's an ache

within my heart

that will never go away.

I want to thank you my friends for being there...

I will continue to pray

God Bless
