Mother’sDay

A collection of poems, memories and notes dedicated to our mothers
AN ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT TO THE SHOPPING NEWS
Message To Mom In Heaven
Dear Mom,
It is only 3 months since you left us to enter the gates of Heaven to be with Dad and I miss you and think of you every passing day! I am still having difficulty processing that you are gone! I have to assimilate this new reality of not being able to celebrate this Mother’s Day with you and it will be hard!
My fondest memories of you are how strong, courageous and brave you have always been and even up until your final moments of life! These memories will always be my keepsake with which I will never part, you will always and forever be in my heart!
Love you, Kathy

Happy Mother’s Day to our mom in heaven! Although it was a blessing, we all miss you. You were the kindest, sweetest mom, grandma and great grandma. Your family always came first. We were always well fed at your house with ice cream, hot chocolate & toast, egg sandwiches and other food. Your liver & onions, pot pie and macaroni salad were the best. We all know you are cheering on the Phillies, Sixers, Eagles and Flyers. Dad is left to answer all the questions on the game show

We think about you every day and wish we could hear your laugh and get a hug from you. Hope you have a great Mother’s Day in heaven. We all love you and miss you so much. We will see you when we see you!
Love, April & Merv, Brent & Jean, Chris, Andy & Mindy, Denise & Brian plus all Grandkids and GreatGrandkids
Mom, We’ve had another fun year of making memories together. From seeing the Beach Boys, to playing Bingo, we’ve shared so many smiles and laughs! I’ve enjoyed watching you grow your hobby of quilting and even winning ribbons for your hard work. You make amazing and beautiful quilts! I’m proud that you even donate your time and talents for a good cause as well.
You know that I admire you and how much you are
able to give. I only wish I could give back to you as much as you give to me and my family. You give love, time and a listening ear always! Thank you for your encouraging words to Joselynn with her knitting and crocheting hobby, and for all your time you spend playing and caring for Cameron.
I love you very much! Thank you for being MY mom, and also being a wonderful Grandma/Gram! Happy Mother’s Day! Love Always, Crystle
