Mama I know you are in heaven free of any pain or sickness and that gives me comfort that you are whole again. The joy you must feel being with daddy once again, grandma, grandpa, grandsons and all of our relatives that has passed on. Although we weren't ready to say goodbye your frail body was tired and ready to rest. And so we say goodbye for now until we reunite! Please continue guide and watch over us! We Love you always

I'm missing you so much Mom & I know that it is going to be rough for awhile for Tina & I, not having you around here every day is going to take awhile to get used to. Enjoy your new home in heaven & don't worry about any of us back here. Those of us who have accepted Jesus Christ as our saviour & agreed to strive to make Him lord over our lives will be reuniting with you at some point. In the meantime, give Dad & all of the rest of the family & friends who have gone before you a big old "bear hug" for me. You've got plenty of pain-free time on your hands now. Have the chocolate cake & the pot of coffee ready because you never know when you will look up & see me coming to join you. In closing, please know that Tina & I have always thought of you as a "Supermom" & later, the best "Granny" ever. Goodbye for now, we love & miss you, but, we're just happy knowing that you are finally able to resume your life with Dad & in such a wonderfully beautiful pain-free environment. See you soon, "Granny".
