Mom Was the Prettiest Lady I Ever Knew

Having Mom before me everyday allowed me to see the true beauty she possessed.
It was God's gift to Mom for her beauty was without the usual makeup and things that she didn't believe to enhance her for her beauty is natural.
I have never been more proud of my mom as I was the night of our graduation for my older brother and myself.
We has asked Mom to not cry during the proceedings and thankfully she never did.
We heard a mother crying behind us and thought to ourselves it was Mom but wasn't at all.
Mom was most proud of us that night for her two sons graduating at the same time.
All of this added to Mom's beauty for she was a trooper for sure.
In her casket the ravages of death could be seen on her face but as before Mom was so beautiful there as well.
I am only able to imagine her beauty today as she resides; in Heaven.
I am not the only one who felt that Mom was the prettiest of all.
A dear friend of our family, Mrs. R. B. thought so too.
