When I think of my Mother, the most prominent memory is of her beautiful singing voice and piano playing. What a blessing her musicality was and it facilitated a special bond between us. Next, I visualize the gorgeous flowers and plants that she so passionately cared for. But the most valuable memory is that of her faith in Christ, demonstrated by her love for others and her kindness, generousity and encouraging words. She expressed this best through little notes, cards or gifts. One such note read, “Your house will be beautiful,” which she left on my refrigerator when I was feeling discouraged over a terrible house purchase. It was also not uncommon for my Mother to plant a little pansy in my front yard while I was at work to brighten my day when I got home. Mom, I miss you very much, yet my heart rejoices knowing that through Christ someday I will see you again.
