Poem
October 16th We lost one of the best people I ever saw. My beautiful, sweet, dear Mother-In-Law. She loved her children She introduced them to God. Constantly smiling Even though her life was so hard. "Blood Of Jesus" Was her favorite thing to say. She probably said it 100 times a day. She loved The Lord She was spiritually touched. He loved her too That's why he blessed her so much. God gave her the Cadillac That she coveted so. She shared her blessings with everyone She never said no. She gave & gave Even to people who did her wrong. Revenge was not in her nature Because her faith was so strong. She loved to talk She always had something to say. She kept in real with all Man that woman didn't play. She was the rock of her family Her strength kept me in awe. She was her family's monarch She was perfect, no flaws. She was my "California Mommy" It's so hard being without her. There's not an hour, minute or second That I don't think about her. I know she's in Heaven Turning Heaven out. The Lord is happy she's there I believe that, no doubt. I look up for her I hope she's looking down on me. I want her to know what her loss Has done to her family. Her daughter who used to Always have a smile on her face Now has sadness in her eyes & her smile's been replaced With a slight little frown Because she misses her Mom I don't think she gotten over the fact That her Mother is gone. We all grieve In our own little way. I thought it would get easier With each passing day. It hasn't for her daughter She watched her Mom's health deteriorate. But her Mom fought to the end Because her will was so great. I miss her so much But I know she's in a better place. The mark she left in our lives Could never be erased. October 16th is a day That'll stay on my mind. That's the day My Mother-In-Law went to Heaven & left us behind. I know she's watching over us I know this for a fact. There's nothing in the world I wouldn't do to have her back. ***** I Love You Mother-In-Law 2/3/1956-10/16/2014
