<I>In Memory of Mom</i> by Becky Stidham Bell (her daughter), January 2009
Some things jump out as reminders of you, apple butter and fruitcake.... to name a few. I want to remember you and the times that we had, When you laughed and we joked and your life wasn't sad.
I've often wondered about things since that day, Did Angels come and sweep you away? Has the youth that you lost here on earth been reclaimed? And mama, tell me, do you have a new name?
When we think of you and feel you so near, Are you looking down at us, our words do you hear? And when Daddy arrived, did you run to meet him? I wish I could have seen that reunion in Heaven!
Mom, I'd love to see you, I think everyone would, But you wouldn't come back even if you could. We know that your Savior has taken you Home, And mama, we miss you, so much more that you know.
