I know God will send you an Angel to guide you on your journey to Heaven.

I know this because you were truly one of God's angels on this earth.

All our lives you were sweet and kind and loving. Yours was a precious Mother's love, always trying to smooth our way, ease our hurts and fears.

I can never remember you being angry or punishing us as children.

I can remember only kindness and sweetness and making us know we were loved. Yet somehow you raised four children who you could be proud of.

Our two brothers have gone on ahead of you and so has your beloved Manuel. They are all waiting for you in Heaven I'm sure.

My most precious and treasured memory is of your clear beautiful voice singing to me " Whispering, whispering softly that I love you " Even today I can hear that melody in my head and recall how you sang that to me as a lullaby.

Your body has left us, but your spirit lives on and you will forever live in my memory. And so long as you are remembered by me and sister, Marilyn and your grand-daughters, Linnie, Debbie, Diane, Sammie, Donna, Tonya, Ginger and Amanda and your grandsons Aubrey, Wyatt, Bobby and Jeff your memory will live on. We all loved you and I promise you I will keep your memory alive til the longest day I live. You will never be forgotten or out of my heart and mind and thoughts. I will carry your memory with me forever, my darling Mother.

I miss you so!
With all my heart, Dereth

Only a Mother is truly aware of a daughter's needs And wants and cares and what she dreams and how she grows... Only a Mother knows.

A Mother and daughter share so much...
The laughter, fun, and tears...
A special kind of closeness
Develops through the years
And that's the kind of closeness
That I'm so glad we share...
It's such a lovely feeling
Just knowing you are there.

To my Mother, Dora Magdalene Stokes Salazar
Born: March 7,1914 at Brewton, Alabama
Died: October 30, 2002 at Shreveport, Louisiana

Nothing on earth is more precious
As the years all succeed one another
Than the love and devotion we're given
By a sweet and affectionate Mother!
A Mother is that special someone
Who cares for you and about you
All through your life.
She is the one person you can count on
To help you out, back you up
And never, never let you down.
A Mother has certain talents all her own.
She can add sunshine to the dullest day
With just a smile...erase a hurt
With a gentle kiss... set things right
With the briefest touch.
And her love continually makes this world
A happier place to be.
There is no one else as kind and generous...
As patient and helpful...
As warm and understanding as a Mother.
And surely no one who is loved as dearly
All year through.

This loving message, Mother dearest
Comes from our hearts
Your daughter, Dereth Magdalena
And your beloved granddaughter, Linnie
