Whenever Millie would call me to check up on Patti, she would say "Hello, this is mom Britz!" Her love are concern for her girls was always quite evident to me. Ma Britz, you will be missed!
So sorry for you loss. It has been said that where ever a good soul has walked, there is a trail of beautiful memories.
A TRIBUTE TO OUR MOTHERS AND ALL MOTHERS
We really haven't lost our Mother,
Though we've said our last good byes.
Though there's heartbreak in the parting -
No One's Mother really dies.
If you love to hear the old songs,
For the memories they bring,
It's because you had a mother,
Who taught your heart to sing!
When you stop to help a neighbor,
Search your heart and you will find,
It's because you had a Mother,
Who taught you to be kind.
If you go to church when weary,
Seeking God to guide your way,
It's because you had a Mother,
Who taught you how to pray.
No, we haven't lost our Mother,
Thought we've said our last good byes.
Through our thoughts and deeds she's living -
No one's mother really dies.

Patti, this poem was sent to me in 1995 when my mother passed, and I have been passing it along ever since then. It is so touching, and uplifting in times of loss and loneliness. I am truly sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you. Peggi Starkey
