You lived your life with love, patience, kindness, strength, and grace.
Although, you left us too soon, I will forever hold in my heart the memories that we made, and be thankful for the mother that you were.
I know I thanked you, many times, for everything you did for me and my children, but it could never be enough.
So, one last time, thank you!
I wish it I could have been there, in your last days. But you were always in my heart and on my mind.
You were my best friend - always. You accepted me, loved me, and never judged me for who I was.
You gave me strength when I was weak, purpose when I was lost, wisdom when I was confused, encouragement when I felt hopeless, patience when I needed it, and love to last an eternity!
I will always think of you, sitting on the lanai, on your the rod iron chair: laughing with me, listening to me, reminiscing with me, talking about recipes ( and politics:), asking about your great grandchildren, and the happiness we shared, when we found Craig's children, and reconnected with them!
I will remember all of the holidays we shared. The birthdays full of presents, the turkey we, "tried," to make, in a bag, on Thanksgiving, and every Christmas Eve and Christmas Day (your favorite holiday!)
I am going to honor your life, by living my life better. By learning to be stronger, kinder, more patient, and have more grace. For, those are the qualities that you demonstrated -everyday of your life.
I will look for signs from you: on the beaches, in the mountains, and in the sky. I know you, will be there, and that you never truly left.
No one on earth will ever will make me feel as safe, will understand me as easily, or compare to you. I have been so blessed!
The only peace I have now, knowing that you're gone, is that you are at peace and no longer suffering.
You are where the angels sing and fly. You are with your mother and father, your sister and brother, dad, your son Craig, Zorro and Buffy. But above all, you are with our Lord and savior. For that, I am so grateful.
"I Will Always Love You."
Now, "go rest high upon the mountain. Your work on earth is done."
And you did good!
Until we meet again,
Your loving daughter, Kim
My beautiful mother Beverly. ❤
