I don't even know your mom, but it sounds like she truly was "Trying to be like Jesus." I hope that you can find peace and comfort as the days go by. There will always be little reminders of your mom and I hope you will continue to write about them. With all the wonderful things you've written about your mom, her talents, her humor, her character - I'm sure she is celebrating her welcome home! Thank you for letting me take this journey with you. You're in my thoughts and prayers!Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09211475780046521824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36493012.post-69552690649724357432008-10-18T18:10:00.000-06:002008-10-18T18:10:00.000-06:00Thank you for sharing that.

She loved you and her family so much. I know that she didn't want to leave you. I am so sorry that you have lost your mom. She has left an amazing legacy that will be reflected in your sweet beautiful girls. I see so much of your mom in you. You are beautiful the same way that your mom is. You have such an amazing love for Christ and the gospel. I see the same amount of faith in you that I witnessed in your mom. Your mom maybe gone from this earth, but she will always be with you, she is part of you. I love you. I have so many memories of your mom, my own private observations of a truly Christ like person. Please don't delete her blog. I love reading her words, her faith, and her testimony.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11276084170240832479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36493012.post-14321328906883137802008-10-17T00:05:00.000-06:002008-10-17T00:05:00.000-06:00My prayers are with your family.
