My mom is the woman described in Proverbs. As her child, I arise and call her blessed.
This is the euology that I spoke at my mother's funeral this past Wednesday.
I don’t even know where to begin. I could say that mom was the most kind, unselfish, loving and humble woman I’ve ever known, but most of you who knew her already know that. She has touched more lives than just her family. She was everybody’s mom. I always teased her that she had too many friends and that she needed to scrape some off. The memories that I have of her are not ones to grieve or cry over, but to laugh and share with others.
The most precious gift that my mom (and my dad) had given her children was not just life, but the assurance of her salvation with God. Even now, so shortly after her death, we can have a peace that fills our hearts. Her life did not finish with a period, but with a comma for we know that her life is continuing on. She was the salt and the light of this world, and had a servant’s heart. I think she has probably planted more seeds than Johnny Appleseed. She made sure that every child that was under her care knows that Jesus does love them.
I feel so blessed to have worked here at the Preschool with my mom. We shared a lot of laughs there. We had a special time every morning to share a cup of coffee with other close friends. That was our time to sit and laugh about everyday things. It was those times that I realize how much I am like my mom. I’m so thankful that her traits have been passed down to us. I picked up some, but the rest happen to be from my Dad.
Now to the part that will probably choke me up.
I thank God that He gave me a mom such as herself because He knew what a brat I would be. She was so beautiful. She was so gentle. She was so kind. She always had a smile on her face. She has fought the good fight, she has finished the race. She had accomplished what God wanted her too.
I love you mom and will miss you so much. I will also miss that phone call you gave me everyday just to see what I was up too. Don’t worry; we will take care of dad for you. Goodbye for now, but we will be together again where there will be no more sorrow, no more pain and no more tears.
I love you mom and my soul hurts to not have you here. Your body is healed and you have kissed the face of Jesus. You have left behind a legacy.
