I know from experience that Alzheimers can be a long and difficult Good Bye. I hope that the sweetest memories of your mother's life are the ones that stay with you.

Mina was good friends with my Mom and always in my life even though we did not have contact in the last years. I can't remember when I started knowing her as Mina because my Mom always called her Brownie from their Star Store days. I was so confused when Mom said we were going to Mina's one day, after she explained it was Brownie I was ready to go. I loved playing with the kids. Mina had a wonderful Lucy look with the sweeping robe and pin curled hair wrapped in a scarf. I can't remember her having a down mood with her ready to share smile. She could look so mischievous and was too. She loved her music and to dance. I am sure she is dancing in the sky.
I gave her a message to give my Mom. I can only imagine the rejoicing in heaven and the family and friends she is seeing again. Like the song, "This World is not My Home" we are just passing through, our treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue. Jesus' love gives us God's grace. Until we meet again my friend….
