Happy heavenly birthday my angel. I miss you still today as much as I missed you the day you fell asleep in Gods arms. As I do every year, I've had my meltdown this morning. And now I will get up, get myself together and be as strong as I need to be because that's the strong soldier you created in me. You would be proud of your great grandchildren. They sure are proud of you! We share and keep sharing your legacy so you live on in our hearts. I love and miss you my angel.

Mom, I said good-bye to you today and I didn't like it all. 96 years just wasn't wasn't enough time. The space in my heart that belongs to you will never ever close. I love you Mom always and forever.

So sorry to hear of your loss. In the days to come when the visitors from out of town have left and everyone has returned to their routine and you find yourself alone with your thoughts, may you remember that God is always there with you, willing and ready to hear your deepest prayers.

This is my light to you Welita, my shining light that burns bright, I'm leaving it on for you like you always left the light on for us to know where home is. I love you so much and I will miss seeing your beautiful face when I walk through your door. I will see you again one day. I have been blessed with another guardian angel. Thank you Lord, please take good care of my Welita. Love you always....
