I imagine there is no worse time than the loss of a mother. My mom was truly one of the most open and giving human beings that I have ever met. She was the example for all of us to follow the way she embraced life and consciously lived by her own motto. I am blessed that I was able to reconnect and spend time with her. I will always remember how she defended me as a young boy when older boys broke my collar bone. You can’t take the Gloucester City out of her. Her Goodwill shopping runs…her lunches with the ladies…and Catherine. I have learned life-long lessons and in her memory, I will walk through life with a bigger heart. I wish she could have gotten to know my love Christine longer. Christina…her buddy…I want to thank my brother Anthony who has taken care of her for so many years…and my sister and brother-in-law. I love you. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
