Here are a few pictures of my Mom's family that have passed away. They are all together as angels in heaven. I am sure there was quite a reunion as all of them met at the heavenly gate. All the brothers and sisters their mom and dad and grandparents as well as my father and his mother. My aunt Thelma I Am sure, found her son Ricky and her great grandson Devon.

They are gone in body, but will remain forever in all our hearts. All my Aunts and Uncles left behind families. All of them have grown children, grand children and yes great grand children. They were mothers and fathers, and memeres' and peperes' (grandma and grandpa in french). Here is a poem written by a very special friend of mine. She has given me permission to use her poem called Mothers. Please visit her site as she does have more poems that are wonderful to read. Thank you so much Carol for allowing me to use your beautiful poems. God bless you my friend. ~~MOTHER~~ God gave me a mother With warmth in her smile. He said, "I will leave her With you for a while." She'll be young and handsome At least for a day. Her hair will be dark. Her laughter be gay. Her step will be sturdy. She'll walk straight and tall. I'll make her touch gentle. She'll be at your call. Her arms will uphold you. Her strength will be yours. Her love will enfold you..... In your childhood hours. But one day the Mother Will no longer be... The handsome young woman The child used to see. Her face shall grow time worn. The eyes shall grow dim. Her strength will start failing. She's slower of limb. The strong tender hands That soothed o'er your brow Have grown gnarled and crippled. She's more tired now. Soon you'll be her comfort. She'll lean upon you. Please carry her gently. She grew old for you. She wept with your weeping. She smiled with your smiles. She guarded you always Through life with it's trials. She bore all your burdens. Was always concerned. Don't weep when I call her To rest she has earned.
