Mom,
Here’s knowing that you are no longer in pain or worried about your health. Both Sheri and I will miss you dearly. Now, as a family, we need to move on, but not forget all the wonderful things we did as a family. Your Memorial on the 21st of May was just beautiful, with great memories of our life as a family. Your friends and family all expressed their love for you. We will cherish all those moments for the rest of our life.
Love Sheri and Arnold
