Mom- Not a day will pass by that I don’t think of you. Your love still surrounds me, even though you’re no longer here. I will miss your voice, your laughter, the way your presence made everything feel safe and right. You were my guide, my strength, and my comfort. Though you’re gone from this world, you live on in my heart and in everything you taught me. I carry your wisdom with me, your kindness, your courage. Thank you for every sacrifice, every hug, every word of encouragement. I only hope I can live in a way that honors the love you gave all of us so freely.
I love you momma, always & forever. Until we meet again.
Renee I want to say you win the all time prankster award for making my alarm go off on my phone on my off day! Keep em coming cause Im watching you…. 😉 I am so curious as to what Northside antics you are up to right now…LBVS… I hope you are playing bingo, smoking cigarettes, drinking a nice cold beer hanging out with your mom and dad and brother and sisters and making angel babies with the man you hated to love and loved to hate ❤️ I will talk at you later
Grandma, my first love. From the very beginning, you were the one constant in my life, the one who showed up, who stayed, who loved without limits. No matter how big or small the moment, you were always there. Whether I was celebrating a win or just needed a shoulder to cry on, you made me feel seen, safe, and unconditionally loved.
I loved you more than I’ve ever loved anything. Our bond was something special; something I’ll carry with me forever. I’ll miss our long talks, your advice, your laughter, and our shared sense of humor. I’ll miss making silly jokes with you and hearing your voice when I needed it most. But more than anything, I’ll miss our “I love you” game. It was ours, and it meant everything. I even got it tattooed on me.
Thank you for the little things that turned into big lessons like teaching me how to make my own breakfast, braid my hair, and to speak up for myself. You helped shape me into the woman I am today. And truthfully, the woman I am is nothing without the woman you were.
You were more than a grandma; you were my second mom, my best friend, my heart. I don’t know how to imagine life without you, but I do know that your love will never leave me. It’s in everything I do, in the way I carry myself, and in the love I give to others.
I could talk about you for hours, and it still wouldn’t be enough. I love you, Grandma. Always & Forever.
I’m missing you, Mom. Life is already not the same without you, and I feel so lost without your voice, your love, and your presence. You were my guide, my strength, and my comfort. It’s hard to imagine this world without you in it. But even in my pain, I know it’s a blessing that you’re no longer suffering. That gives me a little peace. I love you so much, and I always will.
Your Gracious
The woman of power and authority of a mother’s love you made me the mother I became the mold you made me stronger and I never gave up on memories I have still in my heart and I will never forget you, thank you for everything you taught me to be a person who has sacrificed and never failed to be the mother of devoted courage to the family you created a solid love of God great place to be happy and successful in loving thoughts of celebration of your life Mom I love you Irene and thank you for everything you are 💯 my strength within guidence, amen 🙏😘🥰

You all have my most sincere condolences.
Revelation 21:4 describes a future state where God will wipe away every tear from people’s eyes, and there will be no more death, mourning, crying, or pain. It signifies a complete transformation where the effects of sin and suffering are removed, and the old order is replaced by a new, perfect existence.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
“He will wipe every tear from their eyes”:
.
This phrase indicates God’s personal and direct comfort and care for his people in the new creation.
“There will be no more death”:
.
This signifies the end of the cycle of life and death, where the mortal bodies will be resurrected and transformed.
“No more mourning, crying, or pain”:
.
These elements represent the suffering and loss experienced in the current world order, which will be gone in the new creation.
“For the former things have passed away”:
.
This phrase highlights the complete transformation of the world, where the old order characterized by sin and suffering is replaced by a new, perfect existence.
Revelation 21:4 promises a future free from pain, suffering, and death, where God’s presence and care will be perfect and complete.
This beautiful, tough as nails lady is now whole and without pain or problem- merely left this place and walked home to Jesus. God bless all of you.
I truly could go on and on with stories and how much I loved this woman. I moved in next door to her and I remember I met her on the stairs. There was an instant bond. We visited almost daily if the weather was nice. Even if it was just a hello. She filled a whole trunk of food for me for Thanksgiving from the Elks lodge. She told me never shut my children’s bedroom doors at night in case of fire. She was adamant about that one. She listened to me cry over betrayal and said. No such thing as a part time friend. She listened to me tell her about all of the crazy things that have happened in my life and she would lean in so close and her mouth would move she would be so interested and she’d yell Ah Karen you are making that up! She’d laugh and tell me you have to write a book. When I moved away in 2013 I knew I would never let that friendship go. I didn’t. I never stopped visiting because I loved her with my whole heart. 17 years of laughter and friendship and a lifetime of love.
Mom…I love you so much and I miss you already. You always told me that you can’t live with a broken heart, and that my heart is just bruised and will heal….my heart feels broken right now and I am not sure this will ever heal. I love you so much. Please check in on me from time to time and I will talk to you every night. I love you mom…and I know you loved me. Thank you for your honesty, love and your tough words. I am the man I am today because of you. You are more than 1 in a million…you were absolutely unique.
