Hi ladies, I have posted here only a few times because I started with the Beauty Banter. This subject is much different, and please accept my apologies if I'm intruding. I just want to get this out as I have something important to say.

I would like to say that my dear Mother has passed due to advanced cancer. God
was gracious to give her a productive life until near the end, even
driving her car and shopping with friends. It was only in the last
two months that the sudden decline came about, so all of us were with
her every day until the end.

I grieve so much, and can't even put it into words. I think of her
everyday and dream of her every night. I pick up the phone, we talked
5-6 times a day, then put it back down. I know that her spirit is
with me, and she's shown this to me several times already, and to my
daughter who was very close to her. I will never stop missing her
beautiful face and southern accent, oh how I want to see and hear them
just once more. Her greatest attribute was her selfless giving to
others and asking nothing back in return. All she ever wanted to do
was see a smile on one's face, and that gave her joy to last for days.

Forgive me for going on, I could say so much more. She is my angel
and always will be. In fact, I have an angel urn for her so that I
can be with her everyday, and know that I'll never be alone. She
loved makeup, perfume, etc. Her pastor spoke of this and thought it
was wonderful that she would care that much about herself to choose to
be a classy southern belle and to carry this over to me, and me to my
daughter. Nothing wrong with this! What keeps me going is when I
close my eyes and picture my Mom with that gorgeous smile and feel how
happy she is to be among those she always loved. And to meet the
father who she never knew. I just wanted to let all of you know that
even though this life goes on, we will never forget those in Heaven,
especially our Mothers. Thanks for reading.

Love,
Sharon
