My morning started off to a beautiful day. The warmth of the Sun had come out and I was enjoying being at the home on wheels and basking in a glorious morning. The dogs, cats & Sparky the goat were outside. I enjoyed my morning coffee outside just basking in the beauty surrounding me. I had done some bible study, had my morning chat with God and thanking him for all the wonderful blessings I’ve been given throughout my life.
Mommy and Me when then and now!
The past few days they had been taking out the corn here by our home one wheels and spilt several piles so the critters and I were scooping it up to use later. It had been a beautiful day and I was enjoying myself and the serenity that was surrounding me. DH pulled up with my cousin Bobby in his truck and I had no clue why he was here and then I got the news. My Mommy had left this earth and gone to heaven! I knew deep inside that it was only a matter of time but I had myself in denial. I had convinced she was going to fight and win just as I myself am trying to do. I know she is much better off and we are blessed she didn’t suffer. She got to go to Old Settlers Day and came home and laid her head down on the kitchen table (her favorite spot) and went to sleep and didn’t wake back up. I’m devastated, I’m hurting and right now I'm struggling to hold it together. I am normally a strong person but I'm just not sure how I will get through this. I have been very blessed that the past several years since I stopped traveling I got to be very close to her and we enjoyed many wonderful memories together. I am truly thankful for that but right now my heart is breaking.

Her new baby Minnie that given to me and I surprised her with her gift as she had been wanting a new addition to the family. She loved her and I'm thankful Pop’s will have Minnie to keep him company now.
Mom and Pops, Pops adored her and he will be as lost as I will be.
One of her last few outings and as you can see she had lost so much weight
Her smile lit up the room and she was so much fun and we were always laughing and having fun
our last family reunion and this picture is of my oldest son and his children who she adored. The last picture was taken 04/2015 at my youngest son Gabe’s wedding which Mommy enjoyed helping with. I know in time God will heal my broken heart but apart of it will always be empty and aching for her. Mommy may you spread your wings and fly high. Your with many you love and I know your in heaven and we will meet up again some day until then I will never forget you and you will always remain in my heart and thoughts. I Love You and I was honored to be your daughter!!!
RIP my dear sweet Mommy. 05/09/1946 –10/08/2016
