My loving mother oh how much I miss you. As I gaze into your beautiful blue eyes in this photo, I find myself lost in grief. Composure is not within me right now. That I have waited so long to truly see you beyond motherhood or parent, breaks my heart. Before you knew me, before you knew any of us, you were a vibrant beautiful young lady with a precious heart and a playful soul. You gave everything you had and more for us. You struggled your entire life and kept going, kept giving, and kept loving. You were tired, left alone, your burden beyond measure and you kept going, kept giving, and kept loving. Even in the end you struggled to cling to this life, you waited for me because you knew I needed you. You kept going, kept giving, and kept loving. I am so blessed to have been a part of your life and now so lost it seems without you. I always thought there would be more time, but there wasn’t. While I am sad you are gone and disappointed in myself, the Lord has taken you home and for that I am truly happy. You deserve a seat next to the Father. I cannot pull you in with my arms for a warm embrace, kiss you, and tell you how much I love you, Christ will and I take comfort in that. Physically you have left us, but you have left us with your strong will, your perseverance in the face of adversity, and a reverence for God. With that we, your children and your grandchildren, will keep going, keep giving, and keep loving as you have taught us. God bless you Cecilia Margaret Baker. May the peace of the Lord be with you always.

Your loving son

Thank you Carol

MOM….my words here cannot express enough of how much pain is in me that I will not be able to hear from you or see you again until the appointed time comes to be with you, with Christ the Messiah and with the Father in Heaven. You are in Heaven for sure. You have shared with me 1 simple requirement to enter into his presence with the holy angels -The Bible Passage of the book Romans Chapter 10:9-10: 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead you will be saved.10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. I don’t know where I would be right now if you had not shared with me in my younger years… Christ, your compassion and frustration with me, my brothers and sisters – your sons and daughters in an imperfect perfect way.You have been much more to me than a mom and as I look back and ponder on all the struggles that were laid upon your shoulders mentally and physically I cannot help but to think how much of a super trooper you were. Like a good soldier you stuck it out through thick and thin even to your last breathe….You have fought the good fight. You have kept the faith and hence forth there is kept for you a crown of righteousness which the Lord will give to you. WE LOVE YOU MOM…..WE WILL SEE YOU SOON IN HIS PERFECT TIMING….
