Two years ago, my Mother passed away on October 1, At that time, my daughter, Diane, wrote the following as a tribute to her Grandma Mary. I had not seen it until she shared it with me a few days ago. I would like to share it with you.
* * * *
When I was young, I looked to my Grandma for strength and happiness. Now, as I walk through the day, I look towards the horizon and am reminded of the fond times we have spent with Grandma and
I now know, through the sun and rain, God gives us precious gifts we need and thrive on.
Our Grandma was our strength in our hard times and our pleasure in our fun times. Life is given to us as a long country road to stride upon. Even though she is gone, the road will be paved for us with
her voice and advice, her knowledge, and her ever-caring, nurturing, friendly soul.
She was loved in the sad times and the happy and caring times together. Her life was intertwined with worries a- plenty, yet the parts she cherished and remembered outweighed these times of hard knocks and trials of faith.
She will always be on my mind as a source of grace and fulfillment in my times of loneliness or times I don't have a way to contact my friends. She did't go to heaven alone; she went to the angels with the blessings of her loved ones. She was generous in handing down her love and our love for her is three-fold. She went to heaven with the angels and she will truly never be alone, with our blessings by her side and in her own mind's eye in pockets of our hearts.
God has given her a bed of roses and we will send her a bowl of cherries (besides standing for her sweet way ), ripe for the beauty she always had in he sweet, rosy pink cheeks! She will be loved forever in our hearts.
