Pearl was not only my mother but also my best friend. The last several years of my mothers life I had become close to my mother. It was nothing for us to talk on the phone to each other for hours. Sometimes I even called her twice a day. She gave me good advice along with telling me her best recipes.. Which I will always make now with pride because I learned them from her. She taught me how to knit and crochet. And it made me feel so honored when she would tell me that I knit better than her as my mother was so wonderfully talented. Oh how I miss being able to call her and talk to her. When I have a funny story to tell or something that might have happened at work I reach for my phone to call my mother and then my heart breaks because I cant call her. When I lost my 24 year old son 5 years ago. I called my mother all the time. She was always always there for me. I drove my mother out to Colorado in November. She was excited to be living with my older brother and his family. She had so many plans. She couldnt wait to get better so she could enjoy her time there and take up her crafts again. Unfortunately her life was cut short when she found out that Cancer had invaded her body. She was a fantastic mother and she loved all of us 7 children. Along with all her grandchildren and great grandchildren! She is so missed!! I love you mom and I only take comfort now in knowing that you are with My son Stevie and my dad Richard Josephus. I love you Mom! And like I told you on your last day here... We will all be together again soon and it will be much better than when we were alive here on earth!! Love you Mom!! Your daughter Helena. :(
We're Here For You 24/7
