What Do You Want On Your Tombstone? Write Your Own Epitaph!

At my mother's funeral, they said so many wonderful things about my mother that I was so proud to be her daughter. Not because everyone spoke well of her, but because I knew in my heart that every single word was true. She does not have an Epitaph, we could not afford it and we are not even sure that she is buried where the number for her is place. Does that matter to me? No, it doesn't matter one bit. She did not need one. Everyone who met my mother was affected by her, they had to be, because she was so different from everyone else and she stood out from all the rest. She always had a peaceful calmness about her that made her look like everything in her world was perfect. Oh, she cried a lot, who would'nt, with all the sadness in this world. She wasn't perfect, but she was a strong woman, who loved the Lord with all her heart. She was/is my angel, my unsung hero. There, she has an Epitaph now. The greatest things my mother taught me were to love the Lord with all my heart and to love my neighbor, as myself.
