Rest Well Moma...while My Heart will Miss You; My Soul cries in Joy for You...
No more fear to trouble Your Soul, No more pain to distress Your body...No more anguish over what might have been...
You no longer need to take it 'One Day at a Time' for Your days are now endless, wrapped in the unconditional love of Abba. He has heard & answered your prayer of 'Serenity' with the greatest peace you've ever known.
I'm sure God has now given you an endless supply of the purest ice, and everlasting Cokes to quench your thirst. And I'm confident there is always a game of Bingo for you to join.
Hold tight to Denise for us kids, love on her until we each get to y'all...
I'm grateful to be your daughter, because of you, I am a strong woman, I cherish being a mother and treasure being a Yaya.
I love you...~Cindy
