Losing a Grandmother or a Mother is soo difficult!!!
I wish I would have gotten to know Mary. She sounds like a wonderful woman.
I just left my first ever post on this site last week for the loss of my Uncle Harold Hietala.
I sure hope this does not become too routine.
Too bad we have to die, but at least we have the memories that will stay for life.
Unjust conselation; thank God for the memories.
Sorry for your loss.
Respectfully,
Steve
So sorry to hear of the passing of your dear mother. I remember her coming to visit my mother and enjoying coffee together. Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
LOVE WAITS
This day I know such agony
How it weighs upon my heart
The pain I feel, is all so real
From here you now must part
My thoughts of you, a loving mom
Who’s touched me deep within
Thy pain you leave….once no tomorrow
My sorrow now begins
How sad I’ll be to know this loss
For mother I love you
The tears shall fall upon my face
Our memories seeping through
Your loving touch, I’ve known since birth
In heart, I knew my place
Your kindness proved how much you cared
In arms your love embraced
You’ve loved me truly, as I loved you
And this love had never waned
Your selfless being I’ve always known
In hearts our love remained
Oh mother dear, to you I say
I’m grateful deep inside
For you have loved me through these years
From the place where love resides
You are an Angel, a loving soul
Who’s made my skies so blue
A gift from God, to know and cherish
So blessed was I for you
But now dear mother, your time has come
Though woeful, I shall pray
You meet your Father….our loving God
Within his arms to sway
Through my tears, I must rejoice
As God shows you your path
And I let go….unselfishly
With memories that I have
Find great comfort in peace bestowed
Let go thy pains of flesh
To find the love of others passed
A universal quest
Befriend the stars….your family
Who shine in God’s abode
And live a life, all worries gone
No finer love is known
I hear the Angels, how sweet their song
To them you’ve brought delight
Their melody so full of grace
As you walk into thee Light
I‘ll miss you mother, all days to come
And for me, I know you’ll wait
The time shall come….again to meet
Our love at Heavens Gate
~Alts ❤️😢
