"Oh, the sweet smell of lilies; they rejuvenate the soul"
Lilies were my mothers favorite flower. The sweet smell rejuvenates the soul...
"I am my mothers daughter, this I know, like the lilies of the field; I will flourish and grow"

Home Sweet Home..."Oh, What a Beautiful Thing"

As mother lay and await her place in the glorious Kingdom of The Lord-she uttered but three things that will forever resonate in the bowels of my memory; "I'm going to miss yaw', take care of your daddy, and I'm ready to go home." And on November 19, 2013-at the ripe young age of 79, mother's last wish became a reality as she passed away in the presence of my father; her beloved husband of 58 years.

Sad as it may seem, there is not a day that goes by that I do not think of this strong; fierce; funny; beautiful and courageous woman that I called "Mother" for half a century. She is finally at peace. She is finally at home..."Oh, What a Beautiful Thing."

Happy Birthday "Fatty" and Rest in Peace (R.I.P.)
