My condolences to your family. Your mom will live forever in your heart. I am thinking of all of you during this tough time. May your mom rest in peace.
Betty’s strength comes from a lifetime of struggles,
Sometimes they were forced upon her, sometimes they were not.
She was always true to herself and followed her heart,
while protecting her children, as all great mothers would.
She always stood strong in her convictions,
her own personal experiences guided her path.
Those who question her actions or motives,
were blind to the protection of those she loved the most.
Personalities give us weapons to battle,
but Betty’s motives were always pure.
With her children, she struggled to followed her heart,
so that her own mistakes were not repeated.
Understanding Betty came to me as I seen an early picture of her,
she was seated alone with her 4 young children and her face was pure and white.
While the photo showed a beautiful young woman,
it did not reveal the strong guardian she would eventually become.
Kind words are spoken upon death,
but true motives of those that die are sometimes buried away.
In Betty’s case the truth is given in the early photo,
she did all to protect those she loved with all her heart, her children.
