Conversation With My ^Mother Proverbs 31:10 says "Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is more than rubies." Well I can say we found this woman in you and your time with us was more than pre cious. You went above and beyond the call of duty for those you loved and cared about. Sometimes a little too far (smile)!! But you understood the principle of being blessed to serve as a blessing for others and not for your self. Proverbs 31:28 says that, "your children will stand up and call you blessed." And blessed you were. I pray that your life will serve as a shining example of what it means to be a "true" child of God. No, you were not perfect by any means. But you knew what it meant to have a relationship with God and how to operate in His Will for your life. Mama, you are my heart and it hurts to know you can no longer be with me in the natural. But my angel told me that the closer 1 get to God, the closer I will be to you. Therefore, I am comforted and look forward to my journey with Him. Take your rest for your job here has been completed. Until we meet again...
