Your mom was truly a person who lived life to her fullest. I’ll always remember how your mom could lighten up a room and bring laughter and tears at the same time. She was truly one of a kind! Just remember God’s time is never our own time. I know your mom is definitely lighting up another room and she will always be with you all in spirit. God be with you all.

Mom I thought I would be better prepared knowing you went home to the Golden Gates with the Lord and all your loved ones that you joined but it's very difficult without you already. I'll be o.k so will the kids I promise. And I know you'll watch out for me and fulfill your promise you made to me before you left. You'll always be in our hearts and prayers. xoxo
