Mom i miss you more than words can Express. Please wrap your wings around me and watch over our family during these challanging times
Many had the honor of knowing my mother personally , many of you knew her indirectly through one of her family members , you may have even known her as a co-worker or a friend . But all of my mom's family here today each knew a part of her . The part of her life as a wife, mother, daughter ,grandmother, sister ,Aunt ,niece, or cousin.
Of coarse I knew her as mommy , She was not just my mother she was my best friend, my confidant , my advisor, and mentor. She always there to offer gentle guidance when asked , but she still let me make my own way so that I could learn from my own mistakes. She was always there to comfort me when times got rough and she was the first one to celebrate in my accomplishments . I honestly could not have asked for a more understanding, loving mom and gramma for my 3 amazing children. Tyler, Tiffany and Miranda were the light in her life .She loved them more than anything. And i know one of the reasons why she fought so long and hard was for them. My mom shared much of her life with me and I saw sides of my mother as she struggled through life with many illnesses. I got to know the very human side of my mother , she showed us at times that she could be weak, vulnerable, scared and discouraged. But she never complained and never asked for pity . No one suffered more than my mom and we all shared in her pain. I wish that so much of her life had not been lost to illness, that things could have been different for her and for us. These last few days we have found ourselves laughing, crying and reminiscing of the wonderful memories she left us. As hard as it is right now to see through the tears of our sorrow we can take comfort in knowing that right now she is standing at the Gates of Heaven, breathing without a oxygen tank, walking without a cane , seeing everything clearly and free from her debilitating pain. We find comfort in Knowing that she is finally at peace and that her struggles are over. Words cant Express how much i miss my mom. But Even though she's is not here she has left behind many amazing memories and the legacy of her Love and Perseverance.
I met Barbara at our Pulmonary Rehab classes. She was very quiet and sweet. She was always kind and sociable to me. I missed her when she was no longer able to come. My condolences.
