Stanley Powers you will be missed... May 28, 2015
 
Mom, you will be missed, and I love you.  I told you that a year ago...You "know" I will not be attending your funeral and why - we talked and came to terms and you were fine...as much as I would like to I can't if I could....you understand before I made my decision!  I will mourn in my own way - falling apart and laughing and remembering the good times, the old times...  Althought Robert(youngest) "says" and I quote" there are no old times" - there ARE - I will not get into it on here, however they do exist when we all were a family and were shown and had love equally!

I am happy in a funny sort of way - you are no longer suffering - you did not want to... I know you understand me because of the talks we had over the past few years(few but there)...I bid you a blessing, a hug, and my love...YOU are my mother...  you did teach us a lot - and showed us a lot...  It's not your fault you ended up....  

I love and respect you by NOT, as you know, being at your funeral...not posting here however you KNOW...  My heart aches, and will heal, and although you want NO "mourning" - or as little as possible, I am mourning...I AM a mess right now, however this too shall pass...

I bid you well, I LOVE you, you are my mom...  Rest in Peace my wonderful mother!
