Dear Mother

As you go to meet your maker.Please know that dad is being taken care of,also know that I am not mad at you if at all I am happy for you.There will not be anymore trips to the hospital the one place you hated."No more Neddles" No more screaming at the nurses."Where's my Socks".

M is for the mother you will always will be here on earth as in heaven.

O is for the outstanding love you will always have.

T is for the thoughtfulness you had even when I made you so angry.

H is for the honar you had even when it wasn't given to you.

E is for the extra speacial care that you always had for each of us.

R is for the respect you gave even when you didn't like our dicesions.

Mom please don't be mad,sad or angry as god lifts you up to heven.Sits you down outside those golden gates.For there are only good people there.The bad ones go to the other place we know of.

Your journey to heaven for me looks like this.

God will take your hand walk with you just inside the gates you will see grandma,she will be with a fourteen year old and a baby with her the fourteen year old is your brother,Densil Junior.The baby is Jerry Carl the son that was taken from you years ago.And when you see them grandma will hand you your son that has waited all this time to have you hold him.Take him in your arms hold him,secure him and love him as you have with all of us.For it is his time to hold your hand and love you as we do.It is his turn to be raised to a kind hearted person as you have taught us to be.Some more than others,that is why god made you our Mother.

We all love you.
