It has been 10 years...
In Memory
of
Agnes Leist
In Memory of My Mother Agnes Leist (Grube)
Oct. 1,2001 -Oct. 1,2011
It’s been 10 yrs. now the day God called my mom home.
She left behind beautiful memories. I’ll love my mom all of
my day for enriching my life in so many ways.She always
let me know she loved me in so many different ways. She
made me feel important with encouragement and praise. She was
always there when I needed her. Her love is still my guide.
Though I cannot see her, she is always at my side
Our family chain was broken when she left and nothing seems the
same. But as God calls us one by one the chain will link again.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone. For if tomorrow never
comes you will surely regret that you didn’t take the time to say
“I love you,”
“I’m sony,” or give that hug or kiss because you were too busy to
grant that someone what turned out to be their one last wish.
My mother’s memory will live on. I will do what she would want,
follow God, smile, love, and go on.
She will be waiting at Heaven’s gates with a smile, big hug, and
kiss saying......“Welcome Home.“
Love Your Baby Girl,
Nancy Leist (Tarrant)
