What a beautiful lady! Always smiling, always cheerful, never complaining. I can only hope to be half as virtuous as she was. Until she got too sick, she was volunteering twice a week at the Little Sisters of the Poor in Baltimore visiting patients considerably younger than she was. She honored life from womb to tomb!
Even with her walker, she did the March for Life every January 22nd, organizing the bus for her parish, selling flowers on Mother's Day to support local crisis pregnancy centers, writing letters to the editor to defend the little ones. She was a stalwart supporter of Nellie Gray and the March. In fact, I first met Nellie in person having lunch with her and my mom who arranged it.
How I miss her and wish she were here to sing Happy Birthday to and see her smile. I'll sing Happy Birthday in memoriam and beg for her to intercede for me and all of our family. She was a faithful servant of God and I have no doubt that she well deserved a halo. I pray for the repose of her soul and ask you to join me. May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Love you, Mom.
She would win the Perfect American Mom Contest. Lovely lady! We never stop missing them, that's why so many people at their last see and talk to Mom. I feel that mom's may help us cross over because we would find her a calming presence. Why not.
ReplyDeleteMom's are special. You had a great one, so did I. God bless their memory!
