"This was my mother at age 18.
It is my favorite picture of her."
"Mildred"
Born: February, 1916
Went to Heaven: September, 1990
...Grieve not, nor speak of me with tears,
but laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you...
I loved you so - 'twas Heaven here with you.
-Isla Pachal Richardson
We lost our mother to cancer after a long
period of illness. Most people know the
pain and suffering this illness causes. But
now we know she is with God in Heaven and
we can feel the joy of knowing she is in peace.
She lived a good life and at the time of her
passing had 2 children, 3 grandchildren, and
7 great-grandchildren.
She was a wonderful mother
that was full of love and caring.
We miss her very much.

~Parents~
They joined together their
lives and families,
to make one out of two,
They guided us when we
needed their wisdom,
They loved us throughout
our times of trial.
Throughout their lifetimes
they may have taken small steps,
But they left very large
footprints in our hearts.
Written by Jackie Haworth
"I am a mother that was blessed three times.
"Mother"
My Mother
She carried me under her heart;
Loved me before I was born;
Took God's hand in hers
and walked throught the Valley of Shadows
that I might live;
Bathed me when I was helpless;
Clothed me when I was naked;
Fed me when I was hungry;
Rocked me to sleep when I was weary,
and sang to me in the voice of an angel;
Held my hand when I learned to walk;
Suffered with my sorrow;
Laughed with my joy;
Glowed with my triumph, and while I knelt
at her side, she taught my lips to pray.
Through all the days of my youth she gave
strength for my weakness, courage for my
despair, and hope to fill my hopeless heart;
Was loyal when others failed;
Was true when tried by fire;
Was my friend when other friends were gone;
Prayed for me through all the days,
when flooded with sunshine or saddened by shadows;
Though we lay down our lives for her
we can never pay the debt we owe to a mother.

If I Could Speak To You Today
If we could sit and talk for awhile,
If we could laugh and share a smile,
If I could speak to you today,
And share with you what I'd like to say,
I'd say, Praise God I'm free of pain.
My body is whole, and I'm well again.
There is no sorrow. There are no tears.
There is no hurting. there are no fears.
I'm with our God and I'm free at last.
Think of me now~~not my pain of the past.
Please understand God will comfort you.
He'll ease your pain. He'll see you through.
He'll guide and comfort you every day.
He knows and understands your loss.
He, too, suffered from that death on the cross.
Call on Him. He is your Friend,
And be comforted in knowing, we'll meet again.
