So sorry for you loss I always loved your mom! Your mother is always with you…
She’s the whisper of the leaves
as you walk down the street.
She’s the smell of bleach in
your freshly laundered socks.
She’s the cool hand on your
brow when you’re not well.
Your mother lives inside
your laughter. She’s crystallized
in every tear drop…
She’s the place you came from,
your first home.. She’s the map you
follow with every step that you take.
She’s your first love and your first heart
break….and nothing on earth can separate you.
Not time, Not space…
Not even death….
will ever separate you
from your mother….
You carry her inside of you….
So sorry for the loss of your mom, it is very hard to lose a parent. Jim and I send love and prayers your way.
I was blessed to meet Jeannette more than 20 years ago when she moved into the Golden Towers. She was a wonderful, kind person. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time.
Expressing our deepest sympathy for your families loss. Gods strength through these difficult days.
The Pettit Family:
Peace Be With You and Your Family, the memory of your Mother and Grandmother will be with you always.
Sherry & Dean:
Peace Be With You and Your Family
