Unconditional love is how I saw my mom. She loved her sister Evelyn and she was her closest friend who would attend her parties for her children and baby showers. Mom was full of compassion and love. She loved street ministry and shared her love of Jesus.
She only wanted you in person so she would not miss her hugs. Telephone calls felt for her cold and not meaningful. So one yearly call.
She truly missed not living in the same neighborhood as her family. So she pulled a camper in their yard. She will be missed especially from her scrabble game people.
So sorry for your tremendous loss. May Father comfort you in your sorrows. Praying for you and your family.
