Mommy Angel...

VIRGINIA MARIE
November 9, 1941 - December 20, 1996

 

    From the minute I was born I know that I loved my mother more than life itself.  She gave me all the gifts that a person could hope for.  Love, laughter, honesty, faith, compassion, caring, sensitivity and warmth.  There was no place like my mothers arms.  I knew that she would always take care of me and never hurt me.  She was so giving.  She would never forget a person after she met them.  She would always remember their birthdays, or when a baby was born, even if she barely knew you.  She would make some kind of friendly gesture.  She didn't have a mean bone in her body.  Mom would always make excuses for the people that would hurt others, she would always forgive them.  She was my protector, my best friend.  We had so much fun together.

    One cold December night I got the phone call from my brother at 1AM that Mom had a heart attack and the outlook was not good.  She was comatose in a hospital and died five days later on December 20, 1996.  She was only 55 and she had survived breast cancer to be taken by a heart attack.  She left behind 5 children, her husband and 5 grandchildren.

    How are we to survive the rest of time without her?  I am only 25 years old.  There is so much that I wanted my Mother to be by my side for.  Who is going to help me and be by my side when I have a baby?  Who will love all of her grandchildren like she would?  I will never know the answers.

    I know I still have the rest of my family and I do thank God for that.   But I will always have this massive, empty whole in my heart.  I do not go one day without thinking of my beautiful Mom.  I love you always and forever Mom and you will always be in my heart to share the good times and the bad.  I can't wait to see you again some day.

       

    To all the Angels of the Memorial Pages, may the Lord Bless you and keep you close to the ones you so loved.
