In Memory

"You're the mother I received
The day I wed your son;

And I just want to thank you, Mom,
For the loving things you've done.

You have given me a gracious man
With whom to share my life;

You are his lovely mother,
I am his lucky wife.

You used to pat his little head,
And now I hold his hand;

You raised in love a little boy;
Then gave to me a man."

My precious mother-in-law passed away yesterday. What a wonderful, amazing woman she was and an incredible blessing to me and mine. Though I will miss her terribly, I cannot tell you how comforting it is to know that she is no longer shackled with pain and is instead celebrating life with our beloved Lord and Savior.

Goodbye, Mom. See you on the other side.

Love, Dee

Dearest Friends,
I am going to take a week to see to my family. I will return Monday, February 20th.
Grace and peace,
Deeanne

Meg said...: What a sweet smile she had. It must have come from a beautiful spirit that's still very much alive in Jesus.

I'll be praying for the Lord's peace on all of you.

My father died last June. I know how you all are feeling - sad yet joyous.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Blessings and peace, Rachel

Heaven is a happier place as of this week.
