My condolences Joe... I lost my mother 6 years ago Sunday Sept 16, 2001 just before 8 am, That date and time is locked inside me like a vault. I think about her constantly, she was always happy to see me tinker with old tin and I wish she could have been around to meet our almost 2 year old. Know she loved you like no one could. thoughts to you and yours, Derek
My deepest sympathy and prayers are with you Joe. The Bible teaches that the Lord Jesus stands to greet his children as we pass from this world into his presence, ( think about that, the Creator himself greeting your Mom with loving open arms). If I may suggest a site you can visit for support go to www.ttb.org, Thru The Bible with Dr. J. Vernon McGee. May God keep His hand upon you always.
oh shit joe! i saw your bulletin on myspace, but i didn't know it was today...didn't she live in florida? sorry to hear of your loss, my deepest sympathies.
The few words you used to open this thread tells a lot of how you were raised and the values that your mom taught you. Know that she left loving you and expecting that you would be able to carry on without her. Moms are very special and God placed us in the hands of exactly the right one to give us the start in life we need and to give us values that will see us through life. My condolences on your loss, carry on in her vision for you. Frank
My heart goes out to ya. I lost my Dad at 12:15 am on the day after my birthday this year and then lost my mother on June 18th. Dad was kind of expected, but that still doesn't make it any easier. Mom was totally unexpected. I know how you feel, and I am not just saying it
Thanks to all for the kind words! Keith, I just moved her up here from Florida 3 weeks ago. Glad I had the time to be with her.
Hey Joe, Im sorry to hear about your mom. Im glad you got her back up here to be with you before she passed.
Only those who have experienced the loss of their loving Mother know the pain that is involved. I am so, so sorry for your loss and I do know your pain. Their is no truer or more pure love than a Mothers love for her child. The physical source of this love has passed, but the spiritual source will continue for eternity.
It is probably the greatest Hit you will have to take, only time will heal the pain..Lost my mother in 91 she was only 67..The women of the Greatest Generation..married and waited for their men at War, not knowing if they were coming back..raised families and put homes and neighborhoods together..There will never be Women like the Moms of the Fifties..I just wished I could have gotten her to quit smoking..R.I.P. Moms..I Love You
It will be 8 years for me in March . Hang in there Joe. Hold on to those great things she gave you . take something good away from this and hold on to it dearly . Honor her. Honor her greatness. trust me when I say , she gave you everything you need , even if you cannot see it right now. God bless you Joe on your journey here and God speed . Sounds like she was a fabulous Lady . Keep the faith brother , keep the faith ......swaZZie
My mom passed 3 years ago and nothing has been the same ever since, I hate the holidays because of it. The upswing is that my dad and I are closer than ever and spend a ton of time together. Good luck with everything.
My coldolences to you and your family. I can not even begin to imagine the pain in your heart. I am truely sorry for your loss.
Thanks for sharing your Mom with us . . . very sorry to see that she has passed. I lost my Dad 17 years ago (after a long illness). One side of me was happy that his suffering finally ended, the other remembered my whole life with him, all he helped me achieve, how he always supported me . . . all the fun times. You've done well with your Mom and have showed your love in so many ways. You're a good man and she was as fortunate to have you as you were to have her for a Mom. Always remember the positive and pass on the good of your Mom to others. God Bless you and your family.
I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I'll be praying for you and your family. It sounds like she was a very special lady. Doc.
