A Mother’s Crown
By an Unknown Author
Heaven lit up with a mighty presence,
as the Angels all looked down.
Today the Lord was placing the jewels
Into my mother’s crown.
He held up a golden crown,
as my darling mother looked on.
He said in His gentle voice,
‘I will now explain each one.’
‘The first gem,’ He said, ‘is a Ruby,
and it’s for endurance alone,
for all the nights you waited up
for your children to come home.’
‘For all the nights by their bedside,
you stayed till the fever went down.
For nursing every little wound,
I add this ruby to your crown.’
‘An emerald, I’ll place by the ruby,
for leading your child in the right way.
For teaching them the lessons,
That made them who they are today.’
‘For always being right there,
through all life’s important events.
I give you a sapphire stone,
for the time and love you spent.’
‘For untying the strings that held them,
when they grew up and left home.
I give you this one for courage.’
Then the Lord added a garnet stone.
‘I’ll place a stone of amethyst,’ He said.
‘For all the times you spent on your knees,
when you asked if I’d take care of your children,
and then for having faith in Me.’
‘I have a pearl for every little sacrifice
that you made without them knowing.
For all the times you went without,
to keep them happy, healthy and growing.’
‘And last of all I have a diamond,
the greatest one of all,
for sharing unconditional love
whether they were big or small.’
‘It was your love that helped them grow
Feeling safe and happy and proud
A love so strong and pure
It could shift the darkest cloud.’
After the Lord placed the last jewel in,
He said, ‘Your crown is now complete,
You’ve earned your place in Heaven
With your children at your feet.’

Kathy (momma),when we first met I could just tell that you were no nonsense lady. You said it as you seen it no bs from anyone. As time went by we enjoyed each others company. We talked we joked we laughed we cried we hugged we even got mad at each other. But we got past it. I told you that if I was to ever get the choice to have a mom I would pick you. But it seems that you picked me to take part of being in your family. You showed me what it was like to have a mom. 🥺That meant the world to me. I appreciate everything you’ve done for John and I You are such an amazing person. You’re kind caring with a heart of gold. You’re so beautiful and full of love for all of us. Momma you are going to be missed by not just us but everybody that knows you. You rest in peace Kath 💔😢I LOVE YOU KATHY REBISH AKA MOMMA😭😭😭😭

Kathy was always a soft spoken-tough lady. She would call me Sis, and she was mine. A great Mother- Grandmother and friend to all. She will be missed 🌹🌹🌹
RIP my Sister ❤️❤️❤️
