I don't think their will be a day that I will ever go without thinking about you. I know it sounds crazy but I never thought you would physically leave me. I am happy and sad at the time and I'm more sane then ever thought I would be now that you are not here on earth and i know its because you are watching over me. You had the most beautiful celebration of life I ever attended. Everyone was so impressed with the talk and learning so much about you in one hour. You were (are) such an incredible human being and the best mother that could never be duplicated. I love you more than you could ever imagine.
Love always,
Poor Little Rich Girl, Your babygirl

My dear family, I can relate to your pain and sorrow. It touches my heart deeply, the passing of your sweet and kind mother. I wish it did not need to be so. However, it is so, and all any of us can do is prepare ourselves for the resuurection by maintaing our faith and serve Jehovah God through his Precious Son, Jesus Christ, the King. Mom will never be forgotten, and that is a good thing. She has always remained faithful to Jehovah. May all of us use her as an example of how we too must strive very hard to remain as she did. I met your mother in 1978 through Tracy, and she was a woman whom I fell in love with because of her kindness, her mannerism, her smile, her love for family. I eventually realized that I loved her because of her undying love for Jehovah God and his Son, Jesus Christ. I love you all.

We wish you and your family comfort.
