My Mother...

Karen E. Smithson Lambert
Me and My Mom at my Wedding


Mom and Dad 1977

For those of you who don't know... My sweet mother, Karen Lambert passed away on Dec. 19Th 2009. It has been hard. I will miss her so very much. She was a great person, and a wonderful mom. I have so many happy and fun memories of her as a mother and a friend. Even though I live far away, she and I were very close. We talked almost every day. That has been the hardest thing for me to accept, that she is no longer a phone call away.


She had some health problems, that became too much for her and she was released from her body. She died of a Pulmonary Embolism to her lungs that stopped her breathing and her heart. I know that she is in a better place, and out of pain.


I love you, mom.

Michelle,

I just thought I'd check your blog and see how you are doing. I knew that you were expecting another boy because April had passed on the good news. What a shock to see that your sweet mother had passed away. I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what you are going through. We will remember you and your family in our prayers. Take care and good luck with baby boy #3.
