Ma it's your baby boy. My mind has accepted that you're no longer with me and that you're absolutely in a better place and no longer suffering. My heart will never accept this. I Love you and miss you deeply. I feel lost as I write this and don't know what to do so if you don't mind I will talk to you. I know you will be listening, you were always a great listener. I Love you and know that you will always be with me because I will keep your memory alive through conversation and my own personal memories. May you rest in peace mommy.

Matt and Family,

You and yours are in my thoughts in prayers as you grieve the lost of your mother. May God's loving arms hold you close.

Little did you know that day that God was going to call her name,

In life you loved her dearly, in death you will do the same.

It breaks your hearts to lose her, but she did not go alone,

Part of you all went with her, the day God called her home.

She left you all peaceful memories, her love is still your guide,

And though you cannot see her, she is always at your side.

Your family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,

But as God calls you all one by one, the chain will link again...
