Why did you take her? I cry to God. He said, She wasn't yours to keep.
But why her? Why did you have to choose her? quietly I plea.
I didn't choose her, I chose you His answer boldly came.
I don't understand I replied. And He answered me once again,
I needed a mother for an angel. Not just any person would do.
I needed someone very special, and that's why I chose you.
I needed someone with strength of heart, and courage beyond compare.
I needed someone I could rely on who wouldn't be afraid to care.'
A person that sees beyond the pain, and understands the hurt.
To be a mother to an angel is the grandest of My work.
I saw in you, all these things. You were perfect for the job.
I didn't know quite what to say, and all I could do was sob.
Don't cry, My child, I know this is hard, but it is all a part of My plan.
I've been with you along the way, I've never stopped holding your hand.
'This job is tough and not meant to be easy, even now that My angel is home.
And you've made Me so proud to see how in faith and love you have grown.
I will always be near and you have a special place,
For becoming a mother to an angel of grace.
My heart became still, my mind was at peace; the answer had become clear.
I finally understood it all; the reason I was here.
Thank you, God, for seeing in me what I could not.
Your will is done and my service to You, will never stop.'
And God said, 'I know
p.s. TO MY ONE AND ONLY MOM, THE TIME YOU WERE HERE WE HAVE HAD OUR GOODTIMES AND OUR BAD, TODAY IM NOT COMMING TO YOUR FUNERAL CAUSE YOUR FAMILY DIDNT WANT ME TO COME. BUT OUR GOODTIMES I WILL NEVER FORGET..YOU WILL BE MISSED VERY MUCH! AND YOU HAVE BEEN LOVED ALWAYS NOMATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS....
LOVE YOU ONE AND ONLY DAUGHTER....MISSY

No words could ever describe the emptiness that has been in my heart since the death of my mom! Many thoughts
flood my mind about the precious moments
we had together, but I would rather have
her being alive and well, here with me,
than just being alive in my heart!
melinda was the center of my world, and
the joy he brought to my life was
extraordinary! Remembering her beautiful
hazel eyes shining back at me, and the
sweetness that was displayed in her smile, was the ultimate example of heavenly love! I miss hearing the wonderful laughter flowing from her mouth, and the incredible words of cheerfulness that fell from her lips! melinda was the perfect gift that God created !
There is nothing that could ever fill this void in my life and heart! These future years are going to be very difficult without my only mom being in my life. Each passing day is going to be a constant struggle ,mom, once again! Being able to hold her in my arms, kiss his loving face, and tell him the most important words I Love You! Though melindas life on earth was short; I will always remember her as the amazing person and mom that she was! For thirty three years God has given me the most treasured gift of all; He gave me my one and only mom!!
you will be missed greatly!
