I was blessed to have one of the most wonderful mothers a girl could ever dream of.  She loved God, she loved life, and she loved her family.  She taught me more treasures than my poor little heart could hold.  So I am hoping they can overflow from my blog into your hearts.  Mom was not perfect, but she loved Jesus with all of  her heart, soul, and mind.

Mom found out she had stage 4 gastric cancer on August 6, 2009.  Seven short weeks later, she went to her forever home to be with Jesus.  She taught me even more lessons in her death.  Mom lived her faith out until her very last breath.  I am forever changed by her witness.

I began writing about Mom on my blog when we found out she had cancer.  I continued to write about her every Wednesday after her passing.  It was a way for me to document the life of my Godly mother for my four young boys.  And God has used my blog, and my readers, to heal my heart.

Here is her story…May God be glorified…
