GOODNIGHT MY SWEET MUM - I LOVE YOU AND WILL MISS YOU DEEPLY
"Goodnight Margaret I love you....", "Good night Allan I love you...." " We've had a good day today haven't we....". These are the words my Mum and Dad said to one another every night before they went to sleep so that they knew if they were the last words they spoke it would be words of love......
My beautiful, gorgeous most gracious Mum passed away at 10.30pm last night.... she passed away with the man who adored her by her side....
We could not have been blessed with a more beautiful and gracious mother, and even though my heart is aching with the loss of my beautiful mum, I know she is at peace and in the arms of her Lord. We have that wonderful hope of knowing we will see each other again.
I will miss her terribly. Good night my precious MUM, until we meet again. I love you so very very much.
These are my most treasured photos. They were taken just two days before she passed away, the afternoon before she went into a coma. She knew her time was short and all she wanted to do on this particular afternoon was kiss and cuddle us. She couldn't get enough of our affection. Even with her dementia, on this particular afternoon, she kept telling us she loved us. These are the last cuddles my wonderful Mum gave me. The following day she went into a deep sleep and never regained conciousness.
This flower is now gracing our dining room table. It is the last flower that my Dad took up to the hospital for my Mum. Another of my treasured Memories. We would come home from the hospital at night to see my Dad walking around the garden with a torch looking for roses that he could take up to my mum in hospital each day. He not only picked the perfect roses, he bought them inside and lovingly wraped them in wet tissue paper and tied a pretty bow around it to take to the hospital the following morning when he visited my Mum. It was the extra special way he presented it which was a beautiful reflection of the deep love he had for the woman he adored.
Mum's funeral will be held this Friday 9th of March at 11am at Lifepointe Baptist Church on Wises Road, North Buderim. It will be a time of rejoicing as we celebrate Mum's life.

:( you have painted a beautiful picture of your mother. She sure was loved. Yes, what a joy to know you will see her again one day. My heart goes out to you and your family for your loss and pray Gods peace and comfort be with you on the future as you prepare for her service and as you grieve her. Xx
Praying Karen that God's grace will encompass you and your family. It is obvious that she was a very special person and loving mother. I'm praying especially for your dad. Their marriage seem to epitomize the love and care and adoration that Christ has for His bride. He loves her as Christ loves His church. What a celebration awaits those in Christ one day as we are reunited with our loved ones and come face to face with the One who redeemed us. LOVE YOU.
{{hugs}} Karen...I am so sorry to hear of your Mum's passing..but knowing she is with the Lord now is a blessing as you will see her again in Eternity. How lovely you were able to have lots of hugs with her before she went into a coma. I pray for the comfort of the Holy Spirit for you your Dad and family as you come to terms with her passing.
Love,
Julia
