Jeanne,
We are so sorry to hear about your Mom. All of us at Southwest Hospital are thinking of you and will keep you and your Family in our prayers.😇
A matriarch is a woman who is powerful within a family and considered the head or leader of the group. This would be one of the many ways I would describe my grandmother. I simply wouldn’t be the person I am today without her. She raised seven children. She cared for them, shaped them and stood as an example of what being a mother was really about. Her children were the most important thing in the world to her and she was involved in their lives as much as possible. Oh, and she didn’t give them an option. She was loyalty personified. Growing up I saw the effects she had on my father. He returned that loyalty just as his siblings did. I was lucky enough to witness it. She was with one of her daughters almost daily, her sons doing what they can to help her from a distance. My Grandmother dedicated her life to her children and that is what my father did for his children. Without her, my father wouldn’t have had the example set for him as to what a parent should be. Without my father I wouldn’t be the person and father I am trying to be. I’ll never lose sight of that and she will be an inspiration to me daily moving forward. I’ll never forget our talks! I have a very clear image of you in Heaven belly aching laughing with Aunt Pat. I look so forward to seeing you again. Thank you Grandma! I love you and I miss you!
She was the sweetest most lovable understanding mother a child could ask for and I miss her so much already!
I love you so much Mom. I know there’s no more pain. I miss you every single day.
Love,
Kathy
