Our Mommy
May 9th-1957 to August 26th-2022
My momma, she was precious in every way! The first love of my life, I love all her pictures so much more, even when she’s talking while trying to get a pic! Hehe..She was absolutely the best cook ever in our books, her years of experience and love for making us all her best items was her true heart, her rice crispy squares were delicious, her breads and rolls, her cinnamon buns, her spaghetti and so on, she loved a burger… she loved the water and dolphins and swimming with us all and enjoying her time watching us all together as family. We had lots of laughs with her a few weeks ago all together, It was so special at the time, and had we known her time was coming to an end on earth, I would have hugged her so tight all night long, and told her I loved her a million times. She loved Our special week all being happy together. Thank you to Michelle, Brent and for inviting us all to join at their wonderful home to visit and spend time with her favourite people, it was her last vacation and one for the books. We will miss her so so much. Roses were her favourite! Red and purple were her colours, all the dogs and cats in the family were her fur babies, she never forgot their treats and gifts. Spring, Summer and Fall were her seasons, although..she truly loved Christmas with family, she would have bags of gifts and included everyone. She loved her new Subaru…I really think she thought it could drive itself lol it had so many bells and whistles, she loved anything that bloomed her huge rose bush (tree), she loved candles, all lights (I mean, any lights, mini lights), watching her hummingbirds in her front window each day, her cup of tea, she loved apples, she would take them on her travels, things that sparkled, the full moon, her travel mug with only Canada dry ginger ale, oh and we can’t forget about the pillows!! and lamps!! She was the Queen of the lamps and pillows…her laugh was so beautiful and contagious, her heart was so generous, pure and kind..so many things I will miss as the days go by... I was born on Mother’s Day in 1973 and she loved that fact, and that our Birthday’s were so close to celebrate together, she loved so deeply and unconditionally..her children were her life, she even took in a few kids over the years to help them out she loved her grandchildren, family and friends with all her heart! Donna and Wayne were her special friends for so many years, thank you both for that. She loved her little house that was her true labour of love, she made it all work for her as she would say “she didn’t need to much, and she loved it there”. The Sunrise in the mornings, she would get up early to take pics, she loved our trips to Cuba and the Dominican, and music especially old 70’s rock tunes, when I picked her car up that’s what was on and it made me feel her so much and smile, (her) Saint John station lol, she had her radio on most of the time when you walked in and it automatically made ya feel welcome and homey, and butterflies…Our own personal thing was ladybugs on one occasion staying the night together we had bought new nighties, she went to put hers on and I came out with mine on..we laughed so hard cause they were exactly the same, light blue with lil ladybug’s on them and we said, “like mother like daughter”, and those things happened many times for us. I’m sure other people have had these same experiences with her, She was a class act and truly the best mother in the world to Natalie, Bruce, and I, and others..you know who you are we loved her so so much, She worked so hard all her life to support us, she was selfless and supportive at all times and never asked for anything in return. She was a non judgemental ear to listen to all our problems and life stories. We didn’t realize her true worth at times..I hope you forgive us all for anything we have done to hurt or disappoint you, we had our times for sure but we always made it right again, and I honestly can’t see life without you here right now …She had just recently found love in her life after many years, Chuck thank you for loving her so much and being here for us during this difficult emotional time. This is truly so gut wrenching and brutal right now but it has to be done for her….She would definitely want her sweet beautiful daughter Natalie to keep moving forward with her beautiful wedding day, she will be there with us all on that day, celebrating and cheering you and Ryan on..she only wanted you both to be happy! You will make a beautiful bride.. I would like everyone to know about our special mother Cindy who was taken way to soon. I know it was god’s will, but it doesn’t feel fair or ease the pain. There is so much more that I could go on for days..you’ll be remembered forever momma, This first year without you will be devastatingly unbearable for us, you are with us I believe that..I will always talk to you, hug you and love you like you are here everyday always in our hearts and thoughts. Have the best time with everyone you have lost in life, I don’t know how you held it all together to be strong for us! I’m sure everyone celebrating seeing you too!! You truly deserve peace, love and joy in heaven, I know you have missed so many special loved ones over the years. You can go rest easy now, no more pain, no more sorrow, you did your job on earth perfectly! We can take it from here, we will look after each other now for you, I know you would want that…Until we meet again momma. The lord has called for another one of his beautiful angels. We love you more than you will ever know Mom xoxo your first baby girl Laura (Natalie and Bruce)
