My dearest Mom, I miss you so much. ❤ The only thing that brings me comfort is knowing you are in Heaven with our loving Lord. You were such a strong, brave example of how to live in this world. You are my one true inspiration and I will continue to live my life by what you and Dad taught us until I see you again. Thank you for teaching me what the important things in life truly are and for always caring about how I was doing. I love you and miss you Mom ❤, Cindy

Grandma-

God looked around his garden
and found an empty place.

And then he looked down upon the earth,
and saw your tired face.

He put his arms around you
and lifted you to rest.

God's garden must be beautiful
he only takes the best.

It broke our hearts to lose you.
But you didn't go alone,
for part of us went with you,
the day God called you home.

I will miss you dearly.
Love,
Mandy
