A Memorial To My Precious
Mother





Mildred Edwards "Millie" Rhea
October 12, 1921 - October 28, 1996


This page is dedicated to my precious Mother who passed away on
October 28, 1996. She died after a courageous battle with cancer,
diabetes and heart disease. Known to many simply as 'Millie', she
brought joy to the heart's of many with her warm and wonderful smile.
She was a wonderful and loving Mother, as well as my best friend. Her
memory will live on in my heart and the minds and hearts of those who
knew her, as well as through this site.

I will post links to organizations and foundations that I feel would
possibly benefit other's with information on the diseases that took her
life, as well as beautiful poetry pertaining to love and life. I would
hope that this page will be remembered by you and that you will
bookmark it to share with those whom you love equally, as I did my Mom.
I miss her dearly.

I will never forget you mom, handing me this wonderful true poem below, that
tells one to love while you can and never forget to while mom is living!
Everyone that reads this, please remember this while she is living, or
you'll regret it always. I wish now I had done more of this.

I will Miss You, Love You and will Cherish You Always, Mom

Your Son, Randy



THE TIME IS NOW

If you're ever going to love me, Love me now, while I can know.
The sweet and tender feelings, Which from true affections flow.

Love me now while I am living. Do not wait until I'm gone,
And then have it chiseled in marble. Sweet words on ice-cold stone.
If you have tender thoughts of me, please tell me now.
If you wait until I am sleeping, never to awaken, there will be death
Between us, and I won't hear you then.

So if you love me, even a little bit, let me know it while I am living
So I can know and treasure it.



MY MOTHER PASSED AWAY ON
OCTOBER 28, 1996.

My mother passed away on October 28, 1996.
I loved her deeply; now she's simply gone.
All my life I'd known that I was loved,
Living in the circle of her arms.
I can't believe her love is not somewhere,
So strong it was, so much a part of me.
I feel it in the harsh salt of the sea
And in the stinging sadness of the wind.

I ride the waves along the rock-strewn shore.
No one watches me with fear and pride.
Now among the stars I am alone.
In her heart I had my only home.

MOTHER

To one who bears the sweetest name, and adds luster to the same,
long life to her, for there's no other, who takes the place of my
dear Mother.



YOUR LOVE IS LIKE THE ARIZONA SUN

Your love is like the Arizona sun. Always there, no matter what I do.
Bathed in light, I feel my love for you, but words are gone before I
have begun. I don't know why I find it hard to say - The things that
rest so deeply in my heart. It seems almost impossible to start,
As if they're too ungainly to display. I cherish you and what you feel
for me. I'm lucky that I have you for a Mom. I love you with a love
that's sweet and calm, and vast, like some unending inner sea. You're
the one I'm with when I'm alone; You're the place within my heart
that's home.

A MOTHER'S LOVE DETERMINES HOW

A mother's love determines how we love ourselves and others.
There is no sky we'll ever see, not lit by that first love.
Stripped of love, the universe would drive us mad with pain;
But we are born into a world that greets our cries with joy.

How much I owe you for the kiss that told me who I was!
The greatest gift - a love of life - lay laughing in your eyes.
Because of you my world still has the soft grace of your smile;
And every wind of fortune bears the scent of your caress.
