Happy Birthday in Heaven Madear

With happiness and tears
Of Birthday celebrations we've
Shared throughout the years.

And though I'll always miss you
The endless joy you brought
Warms my heart with gratitude
And fills my every

On the third anniversary of the day you went away.

Dear Momma,

Today is the third anniversary
of the day that I lost you.
And for a time it felt as though
my life had ended too.

But loss has taught me many things
And now I face each day
with hope and happy memories
to help me on my way.

And though I am full of sadness
that you are no longer here
your influence still guides me
and I still feel you near.

What we shared will never die
It lives within my heart.
Bringing strength and comfort
while we are apart.

Gone but never forgotten.

Happy Mother's Day In Heaven
I just want you to know
How much I miss you everyday
And how much I love you so.

I cannot send you a card
But I can send my love
Upon the wings of Angels
To heaven up above.

I wish you Happy Mother's day
For you were the best
To have you for my Mother
I knew I had been blessed.

Rest in Peace my Angel
One day we will be together
The next time that I see you
I know it will be forever.

Happy Easter in Heaven Madear

There are no words that can express how I feel,
things are not the same without you here.
There is an emptiness that cannot be filled.
I love and miss you dearly.
You are forever in my heart.

Mom,
Time may not exist in heaven,
but here on earth it is New Year 2025
Another year has passed me by
Filled with the love and light of your memory.

This new year it is simple
I resolve the same as days before
I will continue to honor your memory
And show the world "I love you more".

Without You Mom At Christmas

There is a little place within my heart
That is with me everyday.
A place where all of my memories
Are softly tucked away.

It is the perfect place
At special times for me to go.
For words could not explain
How very much I miss you so.

And now that once again
Christmas time has come around.
It is where the sweetest memories
And thoughts of you are found.

Love you always

Happy Birthday to you Madear!
I feel that you are with me
in everything I do.
So I will celebrate your birthday
But I will spend it missing you.

Heaven holds my Mother
On this her special day
Lord I ask this of you
To give her a bouquet
Of beautiful scented flowers
And tell her they're from me
Please tell her I will love her
For all eternity.

Memories of you Mama

You left us two years ago
It was the hardest thing to lose you
You mean so much to me
But you are in my heart Madear
And that is where you will always be.

I know that heaven called you
But I wish you could have stayed
At least the memories I have of you
They will never fade.

I did not want to lose you
But you did not go alone
Because part of me went with you
When heaven called you home.

So just remember your life was a blessing
Your memory a treasure
You are loved beyond words
And missed beyond measure.

In memory of the second year you went home to be with your Father.

Love and miss you always

My Mom My friend On Mother's Day

It:'s an everlasting sadness
That you;re no longer here,
But every year on Mother's
I like to think you're near.

Your love for me was constant
Your devotion had no end,
You filled my life with sunshine
As a Mother and a friend.

So may you know forever
That to me you were the best,
And may you find a gentle peace
In sweet eternal rest.

Christmas Without You 2023

Although it's sad to reminisce
On Christmases we knew,
This year I shall celebrate
In memory of you.
I will put aside my sorrow
With every unshed tear,
And concentrate on all the love
We shared when you were here.
Our time together taught me
What Christmas time is for,
And that's what I'll remember
Until we meet once more.
Merry Christmas Mama with Love always

Happy Thanksgiving to my Mother in heaven
They say there is a reason
They say time will heal,
Neither time or reason
Will change the way I feel.
Gone are the days
We used to share,
But in my heart
You are always there.
Thr Gates of memories
Will never close,
I miss you more
Than anyone knows.
I love and miss you everyday.
Till we meet again
Always and forever.

Madear, wishing you a very Happy Heavenly birthday. You are always and forever loved and missed.

If roses grow in heaven Lord
please pick a bunch for me
Place them in my Mother's arms
and tell her they're from me.
Tell her that I love and miss her
and when she turns to smile
Place a kiss,upon her cheek
and hold her for a while.
Remembering her is easy,
I do it every day.
But there is an ache within my heart that will never go away.

Madear, I went to bed thinking about your first anniversary God called you home. You were ready and tried to prepare us. You are missed even more everyday. Thank God for you and the beautiful memories we will always have of us together. You are missed and loved today, and forever.

To you Madear, on the first year anniversary of the day God took you home.
I thought of you today, but that was nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday,
And days before that too.
I think of you in silence,
And often call your name .
Now all I have are memories
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake
With which I'll never part.
God has you in his keeping,
I have you in my heart.
Missing you always,
Love you

Madear, I miss you every single day, perhaps today more than any other. I was blessed as blessed can be to have called you my Mother. And though you are not with me, your light still shines on. So long as I live and breathe you'll never truly be gone. How I wish I could hold you so you could hear me say just how much I love you on this Mother's day. Remembering you on the first Mother's day without you. 5/14/2023.

Happy Easter in Heaven Mom.
It feels like yesterday since you said goodbye but I know you're smiling down on us as you spend your first Easter in heaven. We love and miss you dearly.

Those we love don't go away
They walk beside us everyday.
Unseen, unheard, but always near.
So loved, so missed, so very dear.

Remembering a wonderful Mother at Christmas
"Don't think of me, enjoy yourself"
I know that's what you'd say
But I've missed you more than ever
Since the day you went away.

As I hear familiar carols
Then look back at the years
When we shared such happy moments
And I can't hold back the tears.

I'd give the world this Christmas
To spend one more day with you
Exchanging special gifts and hugs
Just the way we used to do.

But all that I can give you Mama
Is the promise that you'll be
In my heart and mind this Christmas
And for all eternity.

Enjoy spending your first Christmas in heaven with the Lord Jesus

Mama, there is so much I want to tell you, and there is so much I want to hear you tell me.
But today, your special day, I simply want to wish you a Happy Heavenly Birthday. You are sadly missed but in my heart you are always there. With much love today and always.

As we look back over time
We find ourselves wondering .....
Did we remember to thank you enough
For all you have done for us?
For all the times you were by our sides
To help and support us
To celebrate our successes
To understand our problems
And accept our defeats?
Or for teaching us by your example
The value of hard work, good judgment,
Courage and integrity?
We wonder if we ever thanked you
For the sacrifices you made
To let us have the very best
And for the simple things
Like laughter, smiles, and times we shared?
If we have forgotten to show our
Gratitude enough for all the things you did
We are thanking you now
And we are hoping you knew all along
How much you meant to us.

We love you and we honor you. Your children - Carolyn, Kathlene, Angelene, Belinda, Sylvia, Rosemary, Roosevelt Jr, Benjamin, Valencia, and Corey
