Mom, we saw you slipping away from us and there was nothing we could do, oh but Jesus saw fit to also allow us to witness His Grace & His Mercy as He lead you Home. He allowed you to prepare each and everyone of us for your journey, the best one could, He allowed you to say you "I Love You" for all that would hear, He even allowed you to have a precious Angel guide you HOME. Mom, there are no words that can express the void in our hearts your passing has left, know that we love you beyond words and understanding, BUT our God loves you best and we know thats why He brought you home... Love you mom Mary Alice
