Mama, I miss you sooo much! I wish we could have one more conversation, one more hug, one more laugh! I pray that I will be with you in Paradise. You will forever be in our thoughts and in our hearts. We will love and honor you forever, and ever. Continue to rest my sweet Mama. God bless your soul.

Mama seems like today we were saying goodbye to you and trying to figure out how we would continue to live on this earth without you here with us. Despite the excruciating grief we bear every hour of every day, we would not be so selfish as to wish you back to this world when we know that you are resting in the ultimate everlasting love and peace that only resides with Christ.
We will love you forever! We will always cherish your memory! We will always honor you!
