If ever there was an angel on earth, it was my Mom. Mom loved everybody she knew or met and was always smiling. After 5 years of pain and suffering, she’s finally with my Dad, her beloved sister Carol Ann, and her own Mom. Rest in peace, Mom – I love you and miss you already.
Since I was about 8 or 9, I have been dreading the day I would have to say goodbye to Mama Kay. I remember being with her in the kitchen at the river house and having this realization that she would not always be around. I vowed that I would never miss an opportunity to tell her I loved her for the rest of her life.
She was the family member I was closest to, always. I would call her and she’d say, “I was just thinking of you,” and I’d say, “Yeah, that’s why I called.” Even at the end, she never forgot who I was, and I am so grateful for that.
We had an inside joke with each other from my childhood. We used to say we were each other’s “Precious Pot.” We were in the kitchen one afternoon trying to outdo each other with how much one loved the other. Out of nowhere she called me her Precious Pot, and we had such a good laugh about it that the name just stuck.
I can remember her playing our “Lady in Red” cassette in the car, and her singing along to it. She never sang along perfectly with the song– her voice was perfect, but she would come in a little earlier or later, or change the cadence of the words, or drag out a syllable. I heard that song yesterday out of nowhere, and I could still hear her, even from 30 years ago. I will always think of her when I hear the songs from “Dirty Dancing,” or when I hear George Strait.
I have been so lucky to have her influence my life. I will miss her terribly.
My condolences to the Hudgens families. I’m sorry to hear about the loss of dear Kay. Some Bible scriptures that have helped me during times of loss include Isaiah 26:19 and Psalm 37:28,29 which states in part: “Your dead ones will live…They will rise up”. The Bible also says “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will forever reside upon it”. Therefore the Bible promises that we may be reunited with our loved ones lost in death by means of an earthly resurrection. This is further confirmed by John 5:28,29 which says “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out”. This is possible thanks to Jesus Christ’s ransom sacrifice. Thus we have a genuine hope of everlasting life in a world without wickedness or suffering. I hope that these scriptures will be of some comfort to you.
We lived next door for our growing up years and were babies together. I will miss her terribly. Thanks for being my best friend.
