Mother, you have been looking for peace all your life. Often said " I will run to that light". We all are doing very well, now it is time for you to rest easy. Rest in peace.
You will always be missed and never forgotten. It is time for you to let go. Relax and enjoy reuniting with you family. You and I will meet again.
Love Mark
