A Eulogy to my Mom RIP 6/25/41-8/23/08 (only 67)

Shirley Fox was many things to many people. She was a wife, a grandmother, a friend, neighbor, and a co-worker to name a few. But to me she was just MOM. Someone that was there from the very beginning of my memories. She was there to provide and care for all of my needs.

As a child she was always there to care for all of my needs. No matter what I did Mom was there for me. Not so much as to get me out of trouble, but to support and guide me in the right direction so I could figure out on my own how not to make the same mistake. She helped to make me a good person and an adult.

As an adult Mom was always there. She was someone I could talk to, get advice from, or get financial help from if needed. Even after she was diagnosed with cancer and was soon to die she was still there for me, even as late as earlier this year. Until her life ended, she was as always, my MOM.

Although she rarily needed my help I tried to always be there for her. I could never repay all she had done for me, so I tried to show how much I appreciated all she had taught me and all she had done for me by being a good son, a good father, employee and person. I can only hope I succeeded.

To say she will be missed by me is such an understatement that I will just end by thanking you for reading this.
