Life Without Mother

This blog was created for those who have experienced the loss of a close loved one. Created the day of my own mother’s burial, this blog is to be a tribute to her, reflecting the beliefs she held dear and the faith she held even dearer. My mother passed on her faith and beliefs to her children, my brother and two sisters, by living them out and bringing us up in the way by which she was called. But not only did she leave the lasting impact upon us as her children, her abounding love and faith and joy touched the lives of all with whom she came into contact. In the wake of her soul going Home to be with her precious Savior, many of those touched by my mother expressed their love for her and who she was in their lives. Moved by her vast influenced, I had the honor of piecing together those endearments into the poem posted below:

A Mother’s Legacy

Written by: All Those Who Knew Her

Wendi Jones—

She was
Amazing,
The sweetest,
Super awesome,
Wonderful,
A nice lady—
She was a privilege to know.

She was
Welcoming,
Incredibly kind,
Amazingly generous,
Fearless (even with a sling on),
A strong Christian Woman.

She had a
Beautiful
Kind-hearted spirit,
Intellectual soul,
Willingness to serve and a
Faith that radiates in each one of her children

A true spiritual giant, Such a prayer warrior, Always sincere and caring, Always encouraging, Always smiling big and loving big, A joy to be with. She was a woman of God.

She
Loved God,
And her family, always
Proud of her children.

She was
My biggest supporter,
My confidant,
My cohort in crime as kids,
My dear and best friend,
More than just a cousin—
She was my sister in Christ.
Distance was not a separator for us—
She was a spark that kept me going.

She
Made me laugh,
Helped me when life got hard,
Followed the Lord all of her days,
Had so much “Jesus” character.

She was
A beam of light—
So special to so many,
Always pointing everyone to Jesus,
And so loved by those who knew her.
She was inspiring,
Beautiful, inside and out,
Full of boundless love, energy, and Christian witness, and
Impacted every person she met in a positive way.

She was the
Truest, faithful and devoted Christian I knew—
A model for each of us and
Someone to look up to as she
Brought people to the feet of Jesus and
Made her faith clear to everyone she came in contact with.

She is
Irreplaceable.

But forevermore she is
With Jesus in Heaven.
