A sweet memory of the Queen I have of a really sad time is last night I walked around the corner of the bed to check her and she actually said "Boo!" I was shocked and sat down beside her and asked "Did you just boo me?" and she smiled. Her CNA came in the room moments later to check on us and asked how she was, and when I told her she just booed me Mother gave me the biggest grin. A true priceless moment!
My Mom and Dad have both left us now, and while my heart is heavy tonight at Mother's passing I praise God that she is no longer suffering and is now walking in Heaven and smelling the flowers with those that have gone ahead. I can hear her now going "ohh eee look at the beautiful flowers!" Just hope she is not driving as she is admiring the flowers!!!
Below are a few favorite pictures of the Queen and Pop!

This has always been one of my favorite pictures of my Mom and Dad. It was the first morning in Trinidad and they were up and drinking coffee by 5 AM. Would love to know what he was saying to her! Wonder what the Queen's first morning in Heaven is like?

Dear Dinia,
We are so sorry for your loss, but as you say it is comforting to think that your mom is no longer suffering and is finally in Heaven with the Lord, your dad and family.
Please, receive our condolences and love during these sad times.
Sinziana and Mark
Oh Dinia, I'm sorry to hear that your Mom has passed. I'm glad you got to be stateside to spend time with her over the past many months. It sounds like she had a full life and I'm sure she's happily reunited with your Dad now.
We are so sorry for your loss and our prayers are with you.
We are so sorry to hear about your loss! From the stories I've heard, your mother sounds like an amazing person. She was so lucky to have such a wonderful daughter! Big hugs! If we can do anything, please let us know!
Love,
Becky, Keith, Alex and Andrew
Dinia,
We've been on a family camping/kayaking trip this past week, and today is the first day I've had a chance to catch up on blogs. I am so sorry for your loss, but love how you're incorporated such wonderful memories into this post. The pictures of your parents are priceless, and your mom looks so happy in each of them.
Prayers and hugs,
Karyn, Norm & Ilya
Oh Dinia,
I am so sorry to hear that you are without your mom. I know how you are feeling from watching my mom lose my granma last year. It's hard to let them go and peaceful at the same time, knowing they are not suffering and that they are getting to gaze on the face of Jesus.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do. I know that I won't be here to help Ashley in any way, but I don't leave until next Thursday if you can think of something.
All our love and prayers!
Ondrea
