My Beautiful Valentine.....My Mom was the most beautiful soul. Her heart was filled with so much love and compassion. Her smile was filled with God's love. Her eyes lit up a room. She gave me life, and raised me to be a strong man, who leads his life with a tremendous sense of faith and family. Mom's love and devotion to her family, her husband, her kids, and her grandchildren, was an incredible inspiration to all. She was always there for anyone who needed an ear, a shoulder to lean on, a good cry or a friend to gab with. She was my best friend. and there for all in their hour of need. Mom's faith in God was an amazingly powerful connection. She carried a "Rock" of devotion to God, and taught all her children, friends and family, how important that faith was. She always listened, and advised everyone, to turn it over to God. She was the most amazingly beautiful woman, made in the image of God. I will forever cherish her in my heart, and lead my life the way she taught me how. We all go home to God's house in heaven, and I am sure Mom has a beautiful room, with her parents who raised her. Gentleman Gene, her incredible Dad, gave her so much love and compassion. Eleanor, her Mom, was a tough cookie, and gave Mom her fiesty Spirit and tough love too. She was devoted to George, and their love was an amazing thing too. When I last saw Mom, she awoke to a beautiful state of being, and I witnessed her love yet again. Seeing her incredible smile, and beautiful eyes light up, was God like. She called to George, come here Lovey, I love you and kissed him with such great affection and warmth. This memory will live with me forever. It is so symbolic of her love and warmth. She was filled with God's love. May she rest in peace, with no pain and suffering, in God's house in heaven forever. Thank you Mom. You were so inspiring to me, and to all. I listened to everything you taught me. You were there for me always. I know you will always be there for me, and will live with me in my heart forever. This is not good bye, but until I see you again. Your love lives in me and it will be a great honor for me, to carry Your "Rock" of devotion to God. This is the greatest gift any son could ever ask for. Thank you for being the most amazing inspiration of hope and faith. I love you.....you are my "Most Beautiful Valentine". Happy Valentine's Day! To my Dad, brothers, Michael, Keith, George, and sister Dawn, may Mom's love live in all of you forever as well. Love, Your Son & Brother, Chris
