Kimberly McNerney Joyce funeral
Hello Everyone. Due to my mom being diagnosed with Breast Cancer since 2003 she was not able to get life insurance.
In Lieu of flowers any donations will go to her cremation memorial Services In Pittsburgh; to be announced.
Saturday December 7th my momma peacefully drifted away to Heaven.
My heart weeps because I am going to miss her so much, but I also am at peace knowing she is no longer suffering.
She has been battling Cancer since 2003 for what seems to be consistently. She never complained, and she always did what she had to do even on the bad days... I am trying to find the words because I don’t feel it’s fitting to say she lost the battle with cancer, because she fought over and over again. Like a boxer, she would get knocked down with bad news and get right back up and start throwing punches again. Maybe it’s more like a draw.
She gave women hope. That just because your diagnosed with the big scary C word it doesn’t mean it’s over, or atleast not for a while, so enjoy life, go on that trip, see this beautiful world God created, live your life and don’t let it stop you from being happy. A positive mind set and your faith goes a long way.
The day my mom and I got the news about the cancer metastasizing we went to grab smoothies (mango magic her favorite) and went home and laid in bed and cried and just held each other. It was the first time I allowed her to talk about mortality... She grieved my loss of her with me. (Talk about selfless) We talked about heaven, life, my dreams, my future my exciting announcement for 2020, what signs she will send me and all of our worries of the unknown....She helped me be more at peace, as I did for her, by assuring her everything will be okay.
God brought me to Florida 2 years ago, so I could have 2 amazing years right by her side. I thought at first it was me helping her, but it also was her helping me.
I am a different person. I am more nurturing, selfless and compassionate. I no longer waste time worrying what others might think. I am not scared to take chances. I still enjoy designer things but I also realize they are just things and at the end of the day they don’t really matter.... I have also learned to walk away from things not meant for me because if I don’t let go, my hands won’t be free for when my true blessings pass by.
Just her passing didn’t make me realize how precious life is.. her entire existence has.
I know she will always be with me but I sure am going to miss our late night trips for French fries at McDonalds. Getting her her favorite Venti Carmel Frappuccino from Starbucks. (Even thought I constantly told her how bad it was for her) Our Sunday car drives along the coast of A1A. Cuddling up and binge watching tv series.
I love you mummie, more than all the waves in the ocean and all the stars in the sky. Rest peacefully with your baby boy Jake, my beautiful angel.
