It has been quite some time since I blogged. Sometimes life happens and sometimes death happens.  My last post was a tribute to my dear friend, JoAnn, who went to Heaven in mid March.  She was like a second Mother to me.  Well this one will be a tribute to my dear Mother who went to her Heavenly Home on May 26th.



My parents --- Lovin life with some great grandchildren on their 66th anniversary about a year ago.    
Yes, these are some of my grandchildren.


And now-----  My Mama probably looks something like this.
Restoration of youth is but a small blessing that we can look forward to in Heaven.       
Will you be going there? Jesus said, "I am the waythe truth and the life.
No one gets to the Father but by Me."


I hope you enjoy the poem I wrote for my Mama a few days after her death:


MAMA, MAMA



Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama, where did you go?

You went to a city where the streets are pure gold.

Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama, who did you see?

You saw the Lord Jesus, there waiting for thee.


Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama, what will you do?

You will sing of the glories of the One who saved you.


Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama, for how long will you be?

You’ll be dancing and singing for all eternity!


Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama, may I come too?

Yes, through Jesus Christ, the One who loves you.



Written for Mama on June 6, 2012

I love you, Mama. Connie

    2. Very fitting for your mom. She and your dad are unforgettable characters to me on my life's journey. Edith was a beautiful soul inside and out ~ I treasure the times I knew her at Fairlawn Baptist. Marian Collins

  3. Thank you Connie. The poem was simple, succinct and touched me deeply. I lost my mom, also named Edith earlier this year as well. I am looking forward to being reunited with her on those golden streets but am more so looking to see Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. God bless and keep you.
