Mom, the first thought that comes to my mind when I wake up is you. I think about how you would call and ask me if I made it home alright. Mom, did you make it to your new home alright? I hope you are having a family reunion right now. I love you. I'll see you again, someday.
Love your daughter,

My deepest sympathy to my cousin Trish and her family on the loss of my sweet Aunt June. I know you all will miss her so. I will always remember how sweet and kind she was to me when I lost my dad. She was a wonderful sister to him. We loved her very much.

I love you and miss you terribly, Mom. You were always right there looking out for me and my kids. You were such a good Mom and Grandma.
It brings me comfort to know that you are finally free of pain. It's going to be so hard not to see you here anymore, but I believe we will meet again. I will take you with me, in my heart, wherever I go.
I love you with all my heart. Rest in peace, Mom.
Your daughter,
Trisha
