Today 10 years ago I said see you later to the most Beautiful Rose I’d ever seen. My mother loved Red Roses. So fitting to who she was.
Today is a celebration of my mom's life and legacy. While I'm selfless in my happiness that she's no longer suffering, I selfishly wish I had 24 more hours with her.
But this isn't a time for mourning - it's about honoring her memory and the impact she had on those around her. My mom was a resilient and compassionate person who thrived in the toughest environments, and her love and kindness inspired everyone she met.
She had a gift for bringing people together, regardless of their background or circumstances, and she always put others before herself. I'm grateful for the lessons she taught me, and I'll carry her legacy with me always. 🥳 Here’s a bit about who you know as Pastor. This is who I saw as momma. There are so many who carry her imprint from her directly pouring into those lives. Many are still growing in Ministry..Her Legacy continues…..
A daughter to a rose
