My Grammy the tough one. I am so lucky for her being the tough one because If she was not I would never get to care for her love her and he get to know her. She came to live with us this past year and it was the best year of my life because of her. She was a blessing. Her leagacy and the fight in her is there in all her children and grandchildren who I am one of

My Beloved Mommy,
I love you and miss you, with all my heart. Although, it will be very difficult, not having you here with me, know, that while you are gone, I will be ok. "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us" Romans 8:18. It deeply saddens me, that I have to wait to see you again, but I have comfort knowing, that you are in the presence of the Almighty God, and that one day we will be reunited!

As I reflect over my time I had with you, I have many regrets. I am sorry, Mommy, for the times that I caused you pain and hurt you. For the times that I argued, the times that I ignored you, the times when I was selfish, and for the times that I thought, that I new better. I am sorry for the times I caused you heartache, the times I caused you to worry and caused you to cry.

I wish I had been kinder to you. I wish I had been more loving to you. I wish I had been more patient with you, more gentle, and self controlled.

I am grateful for the time, that I had to spend with you, when you lived with us. I enjoyed your company, watching HGTV, Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, Price is Right, Let's Make a Deal, People’s Court and listening to worship/gospel music.

Over the years, as I watched you overcome tremendous adversities, I admired and thank God, for your strength, endurance, and perseverance. That during your final days, you fought your hardest, to stay with us, even when the pain was too much to bear! That you lovingly accommodated us, by holding on, till your last breath, to help us through this all!

I am so proud of you, Mommy. "[You] fought the good fight, [you] finished the race, [you] have kept the faith. Now there is in store for [you] the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to [you] on that day—and not only to [you], but also to all who have longed for his appearing" 2 Timothy 4:7.

Because of your great faith, Mommy, I believe in God. I promise to train my children "in the way [they] should go” Proverbs 22:6. And, they will know God too.

While you are gone, I promise to pray, read my bible, study it, memorize it, apply it, and trust it's promises. I'll try my hardest, to not only be a good person, but to be a "doer of the word" James 1:22.

Thank you for the time that you cared for me, while I was in your womb; for nurturing me in your belly, and giving me your life, blood, and nutrients, to sustain my life.

Thank you for all the hopes and dreams, that you held onto, for my life. That I would know God. That I would find love. That I would fulfill my purpose. That I would be kind, compassionate, and giving. That I would be healthy and wise. That I would surrender and find true peace, happiness and contentment.

Thank you for your love and support. For spending time with your grandchildren and telling them you were proud of them and loved them. Thank you for your generosity to them, always pouring into them, all that you had; even to the point of neglecting yourself, as you would always do for all people.

Thank you for embracing my husband, as a son and for always telling him that you loved him and the long talks that you two would have. He always, laughingly tells me, that he was able to talk/communicate better with you, than me; as you always had a gift to talk, share and engage others.

Over the coming days, and until the end of times, please pray for us, Mommy. Pray for our Unity, Strength, Endurance, and Perseverance. That we draw closer to God, know Him, follow him, and obey Him.

I am going to miss touching you, Mommy, holding your hand, seeing your smile, and kissing your face. I will always love you Mommy. Until we meet again!

Yours Always,

Veronica Carroll
