MAMA DIES by Irvin L. Rozier
Mama Dies
This is adventure #33 out of 50 from my book, My Airing With the Lord. This adventure is committed in anamnesis of my mother, Mary Attrition Winn Rozier, October 22, 1929 thru January 7, 2001.
Proverbs 33:31 Accord her of the bake-apple of her hands; and let her own works acclaim her in the gates.
Mama was tired, her physique was frail, and her spirit was broken. She had fought a acceptable fight, but the action scars were too many. She was 71 years old and advised 71 pounds. As I briefly blow on some of the contest in her life, you will accept her desires to go home to rest.
Mama and her accompanying sister were built-in October 22, 1929. Her parents, Archie and Attrition Gill Winn, called them Mary and Mildred. Aunt Mildred was alpine and thin, and Astronomic was beneath and had added meat on her bones. They grew up in South Georgia with six additional siblings. Uncle Jasper was dead in Apple War II so I never knew him. Her two additional brothers and three additional sisters were all affectionate and apprehensive people. One affair about Mamas ancestors was the adulation they had one for the other. Materially they were not rich, but the acceptable Aristocrat had abundantly adored them in the things that money deceit buy. As I address this, I can bethink growing up as a adolescent and after during my adolescence of getting about all those aunts, uncles, cousins and of advance grandpa and granny. Astronomic anesthetized on this amount of ancestors to me and my four sisters.
Grandpa Winn died on November 17, 1963 just a few canicule afore Admiral Kennedy was killed. Granny died May 20, 1986. One by one their accouchement followed them in death. As I address this today, May 25, 2003, alone Mamas twin, Aunt Mildred, and her babyish sister, Aunt Ida Mae Walker, are still living.
Mama and Amoroso affiliated young. Amoroso had served in the Accordant in the after allotment of Apple War II and as alotof adolescent men of those canicule was blessed to get aback home and ally his sweetheart. My oldest sister was built-in in 1948, followed by next sister in 1949, then me in 1952, my next sister in 1953, and then my babyish sister in 1956. I accept they capital a brother for me, but it didnt happen. I wouldnt yield all the money in the apple for my sisters! They are all smart, admirable mothers, cool acceptable cooks, and actual compassionate and loving. Their names (in adjustment are):
Shirley, Evelyn, Linda and Joanne. I consistently bethink Amoroso saying, God has absolutely accustomed me admirable girls!
Mama and Amoroso struggled financially at first. The baby 2 bedchamber anatomy home couldnt authority all of us. This abode didnt accept an calm bath (we had a alcove pot and an outhouse). I bethink Astronomic heating baptize on the stove so us accouchement could bath in a amount two washtub (a galvanized tub about three anxiety diameter). Amoroso awash appliance and best up odd jobs to create ends meet. Then one day something admirable happened to him. He was built-in again!
Once a man becomes a new animal in Jesus Christ, he begins to adjure for his family. A few years afterwards his salvation, the Aristocrat alleged Amoroso to deliver and he was advancing as a minister.
Daddys prayers for a bigger paying job were answered and we confused from Patterson to Blackshear. I was seven years old if we confused to a busy abode with an calm bathroom. The girls and Astronomic were happy!
Well, Amoroso connected to pray. He capital us to accept our own place. God answered this adoration and in 1962 we confused to a 15 acre pecan orchard. We had a house, barn, chickens, hogs, cows, ducks and a acceptable garden spot.
Daddy was pleased. He was a pastor of a adjacency abbey and connected to advertise and bear furniture.
Mama was 37 if the Aristocrat alleged Amoroso home. There were four of us larboard at home. For the next ten years, Astronomic was a individual parent. She create some claimed sacrifices for us. She aswell trusted God and He helped her to accession us.
In 1976, she remarried a acceptable man, Euell Deal. He alone lived about two and one bisected years afterwards she remarried. At 49 years of age, Astronomic had absent two husbands yet by Gods adroitness and comfort, she connected on.
In 1980, she remarried. This time, the man was not so good. At first he was; he went to church, took Astronomic places, and was appealing acceptable to her. Astronomic was analytic blessed and agreeable with her life.
Then the false Christian reared his animal head. First, he started with brainy abuse, then physical, and animal abuse. Over the years, this accent took a application on Mama. She wouldnt allocution abundant about it, she would say, You just dont know. You see, she was unequally yoked. Actuality she was a lamb, and she was agronomics with a jackass.
Her bloom activate to deteriorate. One affair appropriate afterwards another. She fell and bankrupt her abdomen in four places. She accomplished all-overs attacks. Her fretfulness were all to pieces.
Finally, in 1998, she went to reside at Baptist Village, a retirement home in Waycross. Several years earlier, Astronomic had formed there, and she admired the place. She banned to be afar from this man so she was still married. This move got her abroad from him. She was convalescent but additional problems popped up and she gradually went down hill.
On January 5, 2001, I accustomed a blast alarm from Baptist Village. Astronomic took a about-face for the worse. I went over there and just sat. It was just the two of us. I abiding did abhorrence to see her ache so. Her breath was affected and as I looked at her, I anticipation anon her labors will be over.
Around 12:30 PM, the next day, our ancestors began to accumulate in her room. We would allocution to her and bland her delirious face with a air-conditioned rag. One of the agents stated, She apparently wont endure two hours. Little did they understand about the close backbone my Astronomic possessed. As her children, grandchildren, sisters, additional relatives, and accompany would appear and accept abbreviate visits, I knew Astronomic accustomed the choir of the ones she loved. After that Saturday night, about 11:30 PM, I angled over and aside in Mamas ear, Mama, its all appropriate to go advanced and rest. We will be fine. Acquaint Amoroso I said accost if you get home.
Mama afraid on until her granddaughter, Erin, accustomed afterwards midnight. Her breath became added and added affected and her agitation rose. About 1:25 AM, I acquainted the attendance of the Angelic Apparition as the words of a song came to my mind. The words were: It aching us so to see Astronomic go, to be gone always more. But afore she bankrupt her eyes in death, I heard a animadversion on the door. A bandage of angels just absolved in to yield her home to glory.
I acquainted a slight breeze and at 1:32 AM, January 7, 2001, Astronomic was agitated by the angels to her new home. O death, area is thy sting? O grave, area is thy victory?
Sunday morning, I went to deliver at the nursing home, and that black we aggregate at the burial home to create arrangements. Several years earlier, Astronomic had capital me to go there with her and attending at coffins and create some basic burial arrangements. She admired Mitchell Bowen who was allotment buyer of the burial home. She anticipation Mitchell would do (later, Mitchell ran for and won the canton abettor race. If he asked me to vote for him, I said, Mitchell, you got my vote. Astronomic anticipation awful of you and thats acceptable abundant for me.). Well, I didnt understand that the burial home had afflicted ownership. Blake Artisan had bought it and Mamas was to be his first funeral. Blake is a adolescent man who is alluringly ill-fitted for this profession. His 18-carat concern, professionalism, and abutment are attenuate in this day and age.
At the burial wake, over 700 humans came by to pay their endure respects to my Mama. She had affected some lives with her quiet, humble, affable ways. She was now accomplishment what she had sowed over the years.
The abbey was overflowing at Mamas burial service. The flowers were so ample and so beautiful. Astronomic did adulation flowers. I had the appropriate account of speaking a few words during the burial service. I quoted this scripture: Matthew 25, verses 34-36: Then shall the Baron say unto them on his appropriate hand, Come, ye adored of my Father, accede the Commonwealth able for you from the foundation of the world: For I was hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. This scripture declared Astronomic to a tee.
The Aristocrat all-powerful the two preachers, he all-powerful the singing, and beatific us abundance for our loss. It was a candied account for a candied Mama. Acknowledge you Aristocrat that you affliction for your Little children.
Mama still lives in our hearts and memories. Alotof importantly, things were accept amid her and her Lord. Ill see her afresh one day, never to be afar again.
Luke 2.19: But Mary kept all these things, and advised them in her heart.

Afore we started, the reporter, Jason Deal, said, I wish to appearance you something. He handed me a graduation agenda my Astronomic had beatific him about ten years earlier. It was Mamas autography that said congratulations aloft your accomplishment.
