The list could go on!!!
I will treasure the time that we had with her while she was sick. The things that she taught me then, I'll always remember. She held it together all of the time. I only saw her cry twice. What a pillar of strength for the whole family.
Her viewing and funeral were huge. I just remember what great tribute to mom. Everyone loved her.
I just finished reading this incredible book about this man who died and went to the spirit world and then got to come back and teach what he had learned. In it he said that God has our loved ones come to us when we need comforting and answers to our prayers.
I believe this, as I have felt mom at times. It's a comforting thought to know she is near when we need her.
I'm sure she is busy teaching the gospel... She always wanted to serve a mission here on earth.
Our lose is heaven's gain.... and I have to learn not to be selfish. I can't wait till I see her again and be with her and my family for ever!!!
One of the traditions that we have kept is that we girls go on a "Sister's Trip" each year around her birthday. We laugh and have fun and reminisce about what a great mom that we had. I love that trip so much.... We know that she is with us!I just hope that I can be the some what of a person that my mom was to me and to my grandchildren. To instill the values that she taught me.Till we meet again mom! I love you so much!!!!
