Oh mama, I'm missing u so much. But I know you are in better place; safe in God's arms. Even though you prepared me for this day, it still seems unreal; like a dream. U loved the Lord with all your heart; had strong faith, never waivered. Now u are in glory, pain free, no suffering or sickness. Just rejoicing with daddy & Carol for 89 years of a glorious life, well lived, full, blessed and rich. You've left a legacy/foundation for your children to follow. Strong faith, Christian, morals, ethics, self esteem/respect, dignity, class & virtuous.
Take your rest mama, as we celebrate a life well lived. You finished the race, completed the course. Job well done my good and faithful servant. I love you mama. I did all I could for u, gave u your flowers while u were living. Even though I'm hurting, this gives me peace.
Your loving daughter,
Gretchen
