1932  - 2023

I thank everyone of you (my family on PoetrySoup) from the bottom of my heart for your warmest, heartfelt healing condolence. Many blessings to each and every one of you. Hugs Eve

In Memory of My Mother

The gate of heaven opens wide as angels on either side guide her through, while we all mourn and cry. Praising, she sits by our Lord's side. 12/14/2023

I am so sorry you lost your mom Evie my friend, losing a mother is besides the sad loss of her, it is like losing the best friend you ever had or will have. A void that can never be filled, But you already know her destination, and that will soothe you a little, she is in God's hands now. Your are in my thoughts and prayers. Congratulations on POTD, your mom knows of your all your beautiful poems, especially this one. All my love Jennifer.
