My Mother is thought about and missed every day. She was everything to me. She was so selfless. She always put everyone else first. Although she had a very sad and hard life, I never once heard her complain. If we would ever complain, she would say to be happy and thankful with what we have, there were so many others with so much less. Right to the last days of her life she blessed us with her wonderful smile and happy face. She was truly loved by many and I loved her with all my heart and will miss her until we meet again in heaven. I LOVE YOU MOM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SWEET SPIRIT THAT TOUCHED MANY LIVES AND MADE THEM HAPPIER. THE WORLD WAS A BETTER PLACE WITH YOU IN IT. THANK YOU LORD FOR BLESSING US WITH SUCH A WONDERFUL LOVING MOTHER. - Posted by: Eleanor Benson (Daughter) on: Feb 04, 2012
