If we could write a story in be the greatest we have ever told ,
Of a kind and loving mother who has a heart of Gold.
We could write a million pages but still be unable to say just how much we love you and miss you every thing day .
We will remember all she taught us
Those values still remain and we have installed them in our children to do the same ,
We are hurting but won’t be sad because we know she will send down the answers from above she will always be our

As years went by and we move on with our lives and got married and had our own child years as we travel back and forth to come see Mom
Each time I be home she have a nice meal made for the first day then after that she say Cue you can cook for me and high I was more then glad to do she sure loved it when some else cook for her.
mom was there for me so much in life from coming down each time I would have one of my children
When I was sick in 2000, and they almost losing me
she worried her beyond her years, I am sure to and when I went thou Cancer.

A poem I have choose to read today.
If Roses grow in Heaven
by Kirsten Preus.
If Roses Grow in heaven Lord
please pick a bunch for me and place them in my mother arm 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 every day
But there’s an ache within my heart that will never go away.
I so proud to have called you my mother my you where hero in many ways.
Love you always and forever in my heart you will stay From Cue.
