mother on the 1st of April, 2014 and has left
a touching tribute to her after breaking his
silence on her demise.
"She was a force of nature. My big sis, my 1st
wife, my confidante, my rock, my critique,
my greatest fan and regal leader.
"She was a radiant, gorgeous woman with a
smile bigger than the sun and always ready to
embrace anyone for all the good and even
wrong reasons.
"My sun is gone. The dull numbing ache in
my heart will never be pacified by any woman
alive. Not my lover, sisters nor even a
daughter I may one day bear.
"The relationship of a mother and an only son
is uniquely eternal and spiritual, transcending
human comprehension. Mine with Gladys is
even far strangely beyond that. "They say it's
a blessing if a son buries his mother and not
the other way around. I'm not sure they're
entirely right.
"They also said one never recovers from the
loss of their mother. I hope they are right!
May I never recover from the memories of
your celestial love, sacrifices, warmth, your
contagious laughter and merciless wit.
"Your enthusiasm for life and service of
others was infectious. I'll miss you each and
every waking moment of my life. I know
you're in a better place now. "I'll carry on
everything you stood for 'til my last days.
"You came and saw and conquered. "Adieu
Gladys from your boy Jim. "I love you till the
last breathe I take."
