A Loving Adopted Mother


A Loving Adopted Mother

Back in 1988, my wife Janet had the sad event of her mother Virgina passing away . She was very close to her mother and was having a lot of problems dealing with her loss. Mary Jamieson, my brother's mother-in-law called Janet to give her support and help her in her grief. This gesture was a real God send event that helped her through those dark days.

We both have adopted her as a very special person in our lives and we refer to her as Mom Mary. She is always there for a supportive thought or what ever you may need from her. We try to visit her when ever we can, just to sit down and talk about anything. It is so neat for her relay the memories of the days gone by of her childhood.
She is now 86 and one of the sweetest ladies we have ever met. When we go to see her she always greets you with a big hug and says goodbye with a big hug. I have always said that God has Angels here on earth and she is one to us.


Our dear Mom Mary past away on May 2 2013 at the age of 89. We will all miss her greatly and be thought of every day. She is now in Heaven with her dear Husband Floyd and other loved ones that had gone before her. She has no more pain and may she rest in peace. With Love Janet and Gerald

  1. Now that the first anniversary of our dear Mom Mary's passing I would like to open my heart and relate my some of the thoughts of her. She always had a gentle loving heart, for her family and friends. As previously stated she accepted us into her family and treated us with love. I think of her almost every day and this anniversary renews those thoughts.

    We would try to visit her as much as possible, Christmas, birthdays, and any other occasions we could. But now I wish we would have visited her more. She would always get excited when we would call her to see if we could come up for a visit.
    We would sit for hours in her sun room talking about most any subject but she always expressed her love for her family and friends. We would take her shopping, for lunch but most of all she loved to go second hand shopping.

    She was a little set in her ways and was not afraid to tell you but sometimes small children would get on her nerves. But that didn't diminish her love for everyone. There were times she would relate her disapproval of something but I think it was mostly to be able to get it off her chest. She really didn't dwell on it long. We was able to express our thoughts also.

    In loving memory of our dear Loving Mom Mary, you will always be in our thoughts,

    With Love

    Gerald
