MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOUR FAMILY.

Mother you were an angel
spreading sweetness all around.
Sacrificing, giving, and your kindness was so profound
In my heart forever you’ll be a rose in full bloom
Pure love and great compassion,
A heart mother you had,
surely made of the finest jewels.


When I think of the horrific stories that I have heard people tell about their relationship with their mother-in-laws. I can truly say thank God that he picked the best for me. My Mother- in-law was a very unique gem. Mother left a legacy of love and devotion to our family. If there was one thing in particular that I can say I will definitely miss about Mother would be her lovely smile.

If I could send Mother one last text message that she would of course have to wait for either Bernie or Porcha to open for her. It would say MOTHER I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND THANKS FOR BEING THE BEST MOTHER-IN-LAW I COULD HAVE EVER HOPED FOR.

To the Coaxum Family, For a Christian to be absent from this body is to be present with the Lord. Memories are a very powerful tool when we lose the ones we love. During this time my prayer is that the sweet communion of the Holy Spirit comfort and console in the needed way when words just won't do, trust GOD He knows all about it.

Bernie Im so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother I know it may hurt you now but with time it will heal.
