In memory of both of my parents

My dad Edward Joseph
died May 8, 2000

My mother Anna Patricia died December 14th, 2004

On a cold winter day-amidst the snowflakes my mother released her Soul. A dance, dodging the wet of the flakes she rose effortlessly towards the heavens. The Angels, hand-by-hand guided her beauty, wisdom and love to a new view without boundaries, without sorrow, and without pain and suffering.

Love has no boundaries
God’s love is forever with you Anne
He now calls you home, Mom.

I love you!

Standing at Heaven’s Gate

I stood outside heavens gate for 3 days waiting for mom as she contemplated her decisions, her experience as she convinced herself that where she was about to go was the right place for her.

Waiting as God waits
Patient as God is
I sat and reviewed her details with Her
Remembering difficult times
Remembering delightful times

Her first dance with Dad
The first kiss
Her wedding
My Dad
Her childhood
My Birth
My first Communion

The memorable times, the not so memorable times, all experiences, all trials and tribulations.
Life. . . . .

We sat, we remembered. . . . .

Those that passed came closer—between us Heaven’s Gate—now shrouded with white snow.  I knew it was there, I knew who was waiting, I knew she had to go, I knew. .
