One Year


Well it has been one year on the 4th of Feb since my mom passed away. Something sad happened last week. Prophet Gordon B. Hinkley passed away. My mom was probably so excited to finally be able to meet him and probably tried to be there when he entered into heaven to greet him. He will be missed. He was a great prophet and man. President Monson said: “‘Here and there, and now and then, God makes a giant among men.’ President Hinckley was such a giant – a giant of knowledge, of faith, of testimony, of compassion, of vision.” This is quoted from President Hinckley's funeral.
My mom and President Hinckley are sadly missed in our family. My boys loved their grandma.

I miss my mom and wish that she was still here. But I know that she is better off where she is. She is out of pain and with her big brother and her husband again. My dad passed away 5 years before she did. My mom was my best friend and she taught me how to be a good mother, wife and loving friend.

Mom I love you and am glad that you were my mother.

She sure is missed. Your mom was such a great lady. I miss talking with her and hearing her advise and feeling her love.

What a sweet tribute to your Mom. I'm sure all her great traits are carried on in YOU! She is proud of YOU! Keep on doing what you are doing...you will be blessed. I can't believe it has been a year. She was too young to go: I'm sorry. You continue to keep her alive with your love!
