Dear mom, I love you DEARLY & miss you SO MUCH & always will. You were a wonderful mother/ homemaker/ friend/ prayer warrior/ guiding light/ & traveling partner. Ty for giving me life, & for having helped me throughout my life in innumerable ways. I'll continue to highly value the legacy of love you left me & the things you lovingly taught me: how to tie my shoes/ how to tell time/ how to count back change/ & the multiplication table. Ty for having spent hrs caring for me when I was layed-up for 3 mos w/a broken leg. You got me my 1st "real" job while I was still in high school, afterwhich you personally escorted me by train to Philly to help me find a Philly job. You were a wonderful co-worker when we waitressed together, during which I was proud to tell customers "She's my mom!". You & daddy helped me w/my different apt moves, & you faithfully did my laundry for me all throughout the "no W/D" yrs of my life, all of which I'm SO GRATEFUL for. Our trips together & the fun we had will be amongst my most treasured memories. And I'll miss our annual Christmas get-aways to Lancaster & Longwood Gardens...Thankyou for your WONDERFUL examples of: Reading your Bible DAILY/ praying twice a day/ FAITHFULLY attending church/ & fellowshipping with those of like faith...The words on your GraveMarker will be: "Absent from the body./Present w/the Lord."~ a truth which is the only reason I'll be able to survive until I see you again in heaven.
LOVE ALWAYS, Carol XOXOX
