June Has Been in Heaven Since May 27, 2006

In Memory of you Mom

Two years have gone by and there is hardly a day that goes by that I do not think of you.

I remember having lunch with you almost everyday the last five years.

I remember going places with you.

I remember calling and speaking to you just because I could.

I remember laughing together.

I remember how you always encouraged me.

I remember you never gave up on me.

I remember you teaching me how to sew.

I remember family meals together.

I remember when you took the self defense course.

I remember when you took the basic firearms training class.

I remember our last Christmas together.

I remember my last birthday with you.

I remember camping and thinking how much each trip would mean to me.

I remember when you told me you had cancer.

I remember never worrying about it, because I knew you would overcome it.

I remember you never seemed afraid of the disease.

I remember each "Relay for Life" we shared and each one that your not there.

I remember the drive home from Kentucky.

I remember my last mother's day with you.

I remember your hope and optimism.

I remember your courage.

I remember your faith.

I remember having the privilege of caring for you during the final days and hours of your life.

I remember your last breath.

I remember that Jesus says we will meet again.

I will be forever grateful for the time we had together.

Your son...

  • June, words can never express the love I have for you and how much I have missed you these last two years. I remember all the good times we had together;you were not only my mother-in-law, but my friend as well. You were the example of courage and faith we all needed. Thank you for the life you led--you taught us so much. Love always, Judy

  • Hello June:
    Yesterday was also a day of remembrance for me. I wasn't fortunate to live close enough to share all the dinners, etc. but when I did visit, you went out of your way to make my trip special. I'm sure that everyone who visited you felt the same way.
    Two years have not diminished my memories and love for you. You were such a special person in my life. Our entire family was blessed to have your presence for nearly 70 years.
    Forever in our hearts.
    I love you,
    Martha
