I love you from the deepest depths of my being mom...I will carry you with me in my heart everyday until you greet me in Heaven when my time here on earth is over. The legacy of your faith in our beloved Lord Jesus is the greatest gift of many gifts you've provided in my 43 years. Your gain is our tremendous loss. Still I smile through my tears knowing that you no longer struggle to breathe, you no longer ache for your beloved husband, and you no longer struggle with the frustration of a faulty memory. You are made new in Christ and by his grace you will never again be sick and will never again need to shed a tear. I have many wonderful memories to sustain me...some of my favorite include you rocking me to sleep to Frank Sinatra's "That's Life" (which we also danced to at my wedding), Your reciting Fuzzy wuzzy was a bear, Harassing me with the song "You are the sunshine of my life", Getting me on April Fools Day, Ripping the eye patch off my eye, and of course the joy of telling you of the arrival of your beloved grandkids- Jack, Dan and Emma. We all love you mom and thank you for everything. The world grew darker still on September 3, 2010 and Heaven got brighter! Love, Ed
