A Tribute to my Mom

I just got home from my mom's funeral in Missouri. She went home on October 15, 2007. My mom lived a good, long life of 82 years. She was a committed Christian which made her funeral a time of celebration for the life she lived. Sure we cried because we will never see her again in this life, but we rejoiced because her journey here on earth is complete and she is now with God. The service was a fitting tribute to Mom. There was a slide show with pictures of Mom throughout her life along with the family as it has expanded over the years. Many spoke of her life and how they were affected by her witness of Christ. My Mom had a testimony that said "Live for God". Here message to all that she knew was to commit completely to Jesus Christ. I am here today because of her faith. Because we are long distance my four sisters cared for her, especially my oldest sister, Leola. She was very close to Mom and gave her wonderful care. She held her hand as she transitioned from this life to the next life. Thanks Sis. My other sisters, Angie, Jane, and Jeanette also helped care for Mom as often as they could since they also had to travel. They were all wonderful. I want to thank my wife,
Susan, for all of her support. She has held up my arms for over 31 years. I couldn't get along without her. Thanks for everything Mom, We'll see you in heaven.
