A Life Celebration will be held 7:00 PM Friday, September 9, 2011 at Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witness Edgewater.
In memory of the woman who was all that a mother should be, "LOVE" is what comes to my mind. The "Mother of my Heart"; Mom,you will always have my love. We had something so special, you are the "mother of my heart" FOREVER. I know that Revelation 21:3,4 was very dear to your heart. Jehovah's promise to "make all things new" along with no more pain were what you looked forward to. I Remember when you told me that this is what made you listen to the truth of what the Bible's message is: God's Kingdom that will return our earth to it's original condition, a paradise, with no more getting sick, growing old, or dying. It was the "Look, I am making all things new" brochure that started it all.
Ben and I will forever be grateful to Jehovah for providing you as a loving mother to me, and a wonderful grandmother to Ben while you were still alive. I will always especially remember when you were the only one who stuck by me and helped me through a very dark time. You were there-- everyday you were there for me to talk to when I didn't think I was going to make it. I will always love you with all my heart for the "Ruth" like loyalty you showed to Jehovah. You were like Naomi to me, you showed me what a Mother's love really is. Ben and I look forward to the Resurrection when we will see you again, with no more pain and suffering. I know you are now sleeping in death, but so soon now the words at Job 14:14,15 will be a reality. Ben and I will have your Bengal tiger named "Pounce" to greet you in the very near future, Jehovah willing. You were a loyal faithful servant of Jehovah, and you were most deserving of the dignity and recognition of that loyalty that I am confident Jehovah and his son saw in you, I know I saw the loyal steadfastness of your faith and love for your God, Jehovah. I recall some of our last conversations and how for all that you went through, you still had your sense of humor and managed to keep your mind strong and focused. The quiet and secret person of the heart did not reveal what you were thinking, but we were so close that you would often laugh because I knew exactly what you were thinking. I have never known anyone like you with the capability to keep your mind focused, even with all that you suffered with, and still held your own. I will always have a deep and profound respect for you as you live in my memory until you are awakened from the deep sleep of death.
I miss you so very much, I still reach for the phone from time to time and remember that I must wait for the time when 'Jehovah will call, and you will answer'.
With all my Love, Doreen
