| I lost my dear mother on the 19th of March ,1999. She was one of the kindest and sweetest ladies I ever knew, she was taken too early by the one disease that I could not fight Cancer, she fought bravely for 6 years and in that time lived to see another grandchild and three great-grandchildren be born. I would like to think her death has meant something to myself and my siblings , I believe it taught us to persevere in the face of all odds and not to let anything or anyone get us down. So for now I will just say I miss you mommy more than life itself and always remember I love you. Stormie |
| It's hard to sum up in only a few paragraphs how to explain a lifetime of memories. As far back as I can remember I can picture a tiny, petite yet strong and wise woman, who dedicated her life to building a secure,independent and loving family. For as long as I have been alive, I have heard many stories of this angel in disguise, and the miracles that she has performed . She has spread more love in her lifetime than any of us could even understand Even when she was so sick, she still never let that get in her way. She had a saying,"Family First", and for almost 50 years with her immediate family, she has shown that and more. There is so much that I can say about her ,but we all know that no matter what, we are all a part of her and she is a big part of us. To end off this final note and goodbye, she has been accepted as one of Gods angels, since she has been a fantastic mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother to her family. Now she is gone to be a great daughter for her loving parents, again. God bless this lady and each one that has known and loved her. this was written by my nephew who is only 19 for his Nanny. His name is Donald Bottomley and it was my mother's eulogy on the 21st of March, 1999 |

| WHEN LIFE STARTS WITHOUT ME |
| When tomorrow starts without me and I'm not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today, While thinking of the many things we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, And each time you think of me I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand, And said my place was ready,in heaven far above And that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, For all my life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for and so much yet to do, It seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had. If only I could relive yesterday I thought for just awhile I'd say good-bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized that this could never be, For emptyness and memories would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things that I would miss tomorrow, I thought of you and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through heavens gate, I felt so much at home. Whem God looked down and smiled at me,from His great golden throne, He said," This is eternity and all I've promised you, Today for life on what is past but here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last, And since each day's the same, theres no longing for the past. But you have been so faithful,so trusting, so true, Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn't do. But you have been forgiven and now at last your'e free. So won't you take my hand and share my life with me?" So when tomorrow starts without me,don't think we're far apart, For everytime you think of me , I'M RIGHT HERE IN YOUR HEART! author unknown, I found this 3 years ago and decided to keep it now I know why Good-bye Mother , I will always love and remember you , not just today but everyday, love, Stormie |
