Goodbye Momma.


As many of you know I have been my mother's caretaker as she battled stage IV endometrial cancer the last 9 months. Last Wednesday, May 25th, she went home to be with Jesus. I am experiencing much grief but I am so thankful she is out of pain. What joy I have knowing it will not be long before I see her again.


My daily postings got away from me as she was needing more and more care at the end. It is a new chapter and beginning for Mimi and I so we shall see what the months ahead have in store. :) Love to you all. So excited to be back.

  1. This picture has so much emotion... I'm a little jealous that she is in our Father's presence. Her death was beautiful, as I thought death couldn't be. You have been an amazing caregiver! Favor over you, my friend!

  3. Marcelle, that photo is beautiful, powerful, and precious all at the same time. Your facial expression says so much. Thank you for being such a wonderful example of love and selflessness. I'm so sorry you endured this difficulty, but you seem to have a positive view of it all. I love you always.

  7. What joy I have knowing the true meanings of her legacy. That I get to see it in her best creations...her children and grandchildren. That I am reminded of her all the time with things Shai says and does. Watching you and Arielle in this process has been like holding Jesus hand. MAGIC. Gosh, I love you guys! And Ari's comment tickled me into the biggest smile :)
