"Mom, Your spirit appears to me in soft whispers of the trees and the leaves that dance happily in the June sun. I see your smile in every one of them. You brought me life, for that I am not only eternally grateful, but what you gave me over and above that was Jesus' love. Only you, mother, showed me the true meaning of sacrificial love that could only be shown through the Lord within you. Always giving and never expecting anything in return. Your soul may be again with your Creator, but your spirit will live within and around me all the days of my life. Until, I see you again, and hear your precious voice calling my name, I will hear you through God's still small voice that speaks in my ear and in every beat of my heart. I am yours and you are mine. I love you and carry and treasure your memory with me forever Mom." -Your Valerie
