Clara's celebration of life

I want to start by adding a verse from the Bible that I found in my Mom's notes:

-Romans 12:2

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

If anyone in my mothers life time had the opportunity to meet her knew the lady loved her memorial day picnics, it was all everyone talked about and always looked forward to every year. Always with a open invitation making sure everyone was invited, all were welcome regardless if you had issues with someone else that would be invited. Her response to them was always the same to all, "Honey, who cares how they treated or did to you or said to you, you should show up to prove to them they have no power over you. Show them their hateful words will not stop you showing up, that your strength is stronger then they're hate."

Til this day all our friends and family tell us kids man I miss your Moms' picnics, well my mother passed away Monday May 29, 2023 Memorial Day. We are saddened for the lose of our Mother but the beautiful thing of her love is she always told us, "when my time comes it will be between me and my Father, God." Multiple times from August 2022 til May 2023 the Doctors kept insisting and pressuring us to pull the plug on her. Of course remembering her teachings we denied them every time insisted.

She kept her promise to her kids and her God.

-Fight for her kids til the very last breath.

-God in control of her life always

Her teachings to us growing up in life never went or will ever go unrecognized. It helped the bond of us to be stronger then it already is with her kids and to walk like her when it came to this world.

She's a Mother of three beautiful children Sallybooboo, my Anchula and her Junior as she would say, that stood by her side for every trial and tribulation through childhood growing up. My Mothers heart touched and helped so many people. A Mother of three but a Mother to all as well, weather it be her kids friends or the kid she saw sitting in front of a liquor store or just a person that needed that loving Mother figure ever so deeply. A place to rest if you had no where else to go, a car ride if you needed to go somewhere, a plate of food if you were hungry, a dollar she never had if you were deeply in need of or just a simple hug and ear to talk to, yeah that was my mom, she was that lady. The universe is a beautiful thing when you understand your purpose here on it, and she definitely did good on teaching us that from a young age. "Life is too beautiful to be emo" or "What are you crying for Honey? You should be thankful God got you out of that situation before it got worse."

Making this Go Fund Me for our Mother is really hard to do because were a family that does it on our own so we don't get hurt if denied help from the people we love. She was a very prideful person to ask for a helping hand with money. She would go through A-Z before asking someone for help. So we come and ask you all to feel what you feel in your heart and help us to allow our Mother to rest at peace.

Our Mother was a very thankful person, even if all you could give is a penny or some other type of help any other way that penny was a million to her. Your heart is worth more than anything to her. We love you all and we thank you for loving our Mother as your own.

Don't be sad, be happy and if you can't be happy then pray to God to guide you.
