Mom called home to be with the Lord

I know that some of you may not know me, but I lost my mother last Sunday to cancer. We just had her going home celebration Thursday...I know that my mother was looking down from heaven with a smile on her face. Words can not begin to describe my mom....she was a beautiful and spiritual women, whom she touched many lives. I had so many people come to me and tell me that she prayed them through to the Holy Ghost. (she prayed our former pastor through to the Holy Ghost).

She was loved by many that the funeral was webcast, so that many from the mid-west and eastcoast could watch. My mom held on to faith that the Lord would heal her. She battled cancer for almost six yrs. right after she lost her father-in-law the battle began! I miss her so much....I sometimes wonder how I am going to get through this!! Part of me is angry...mostly at the "C" word! And then there is a part of me that wants to ask God "Why" .............I wish I could begin to tell how wonderful my mom was..it would take a book to write! I am so glad I have good memories of my time with my mother!

Re: Mom called home to be with the Lord

Ann,

My mom is precious to me also, I know I would feel empty inside if the Lord took her now.. and I know someday if He tarry's I'll likely have to say goodbye... I will remember you in prayer, that the God of all peace would keep your mind and heart...

I can't answer the why, but I know that precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.

Ann, thank you for sharing this wonderful tribute to your mother. I lost my mother in 1989 to cancer, and pretty much felt the same way about her that you feel about your mother.

Our prayers are with you and your family at this time.......

Re: Mom called home to be with the Lord

Ann, I just lost my Dad to Cancer in December. The pain can be unbearable, but do not feel as if you are alone. You have friends, and at least one new one.

If you want to chat, PM me. I will gladly give ya my number. I know the pain you are in, but our great and loving Father is there, holding you as you never thought possible.

Only in our worst moments can His embrace be felt and experienced the most.

Re: Mom called home to be with the Lord

Ann-

I appreciate you sharing your memories of your mother with us. No, I didn't know your Mother but your description of her, and of her love for the Lord, lets me know that she was a fine person. I know its tough to face life without her- believe me, I know- but God, and she, is with you. May God give you comfort- and may you always know that your mother is reaping her rewards for years of continuing service to the Lord. And to your family. God bless you. -OneAccord

Ann, I am so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for you. Our mom's are such an important part of our life the thought of them not being here is terrible even when we have the hope of seing them again in heaven.

Re: Mom called home to be with the Lord

Thank you all for your prayers.....My mother had a long life ahead of her she was only 65 yrs. (birthday was just in Jan.) She had just retired from her job as a pharmacy buyer a week ago. Mom had just signed her retirement papers while in CCU.....towards the end my mother was unable to talk due to the bi-pap mask on her face...she had to write on a notepad. Many times she would use her hands and point in the corner or at the feet of the bed. I finally asked her to write down what she wanted..in her fustration (because I couldn't understand her) she wrote on her yellow note pad "Angels standing at the foot of the bed" I kept those writings of the things she would see in the spirit....
