My Mother
Posted: September 28, 2017 Filed under: Uncategorized 129 Comments
My dear mother passed away earlier this week and I am now in Australia with my family. She died peacefully with my father and brother by her side. My mother was a faithful, loving, wonderful wife, mother, sister, Nanna and friend. She is now in the presence of Jesus, her saviour whom she loved and trusted throughout her 82 years. I am so blessed to have had such a loving, prayerful, unselfish role model and friend.

From time to time I comment on Heather’s cards and I do today, not so much to comment on her words which are so true and beautifully expressed or on the photographs which are special reminders of over 56 years which Heather’s mother and I shared, but to express my joy and appreciation of the 119 comments which preceed this one.
So many names I recognize, people who share Heather’s love of cardmaking and clearly care for one another. You are a special fellowship of people, encouraging and supporting one another in the development and use of you talents.
But your love and care clearly reacn beyond your shared gifts , something that has been greatly appreciated by Heather.
On this occasion, however, the love and care has reached out beyond her to embrace her family,, and her brothers and their families,as well as me, her Dad.
Thank you for all the words that you have expressed to Heather and about her, and about her dear Mother Ruth.
May God’s peace and joy be with you all.

I did read this text on an old graveyard in Ireland, some years ago :
“Mum.
Two tired eyes are sleeping,
Two willing hands are still;
The one who worked so hard for us,
Is resting at Gods will.”
My sincere condolences on the loss of your mother. Surely she will live on forever in the heart and memory of the whole family. Warm hug from Belgium, Lieve
Heather, So sorry to hear about your mother’s passing. What a difficult for your family. I hope that you will come to realize that she has only left you in body. She will be very much alive in your heart and in your mind. Every thing you say, everything you do, everything you think will contain part of her. She will always there with you.

[…] left his thanks to you, my blog readers, in a comment on that post; it is towards the end of the comments section if you care to pop back and read […]
My sympathy to you and your family.
To Heather’s father: What a gracious and beautifully written note you posted, especially under such sad circumstances. Your daughter has amazing talent and the crafting world is grateful that she shares it with us. I’m sure this selflessness comes from wonderful parents…
Wishing you peace as you begin a life without your wife.
i’m sorry i did not see this post earlier… i’m sorry for your loss…
May the Love of God surround you and give you peace during the times ahead.
May your sorrow turn to laughter as you remember your mom (and wife) and
all the wonderful days you had with her. the bad ones as well as the good,
for each day was a lesson in growing and changing and becoming what God called
each of you to be.
Blessings
So lovely that your father read these comments and “spoke” so beautifully. I hope God stays close to you all x
