Sandra Ingram

The Goddess took our mother to be with her on Sunday morning, November 20, 2011. Moma fought for her life for three-and–one-half years against cancer. In the end the Goddess decided it was time for Moma to be with her.

One who was our security in youth has gone now, leaving an empty, quiet place within us that mourns. She watched us come into being, dream, live and grow. In her memory was carried the history of our lives with remembrance of her earliest dreams and ours. Our mother’s life touched many, her own dreams and life are now past. What is left is our memory and love for her. We are grateful for all she was and for all she did for us. Bless the passing of our mother with peace.
