Dearest Mom,
I'm truly blessed and thankful for having you as my Mother my "Mumzy" you will always be the most important person in my life. All you ever desired was my love and shared happiness in life and no matter what road I took "be it high or low" you were always there for me. God could not have created a more Beautiful & Loving Mother than you.
It was a privilege and honor to spend the most precious time with you when we needed each other the most. I will miss our talks & laughter, reading poetry, singing songs our song " You are my Sunshine", listening to music and playing your favorite song "Tenderly". Holding your hand and caressing your face to your hugs and warm embraces. But most of all I will miss you saying I love you and I would say I love you more and we'd go back and forth.
You left me with fond memories that I will cherish. I know you're with me in Spirit and you will always have a special place in my heart. Continue to look over all of us my special angel.
Till we are together once again. I'll love you now and forever.
Your loving daughter Sandy

To my dear mom,
I want to begin by saying thank you! We shared a close bond, you were not only a great mother but a close friend and confidant. You were always there for me through thick and then, you never judged me, instead supported and offered me nothing but comfort and unconditional love. Not many people can say that. I will miss our countless one on one times we shared together, they truly were some of my best memories here on earth. Most importantly, thank you for choosing me to be your son, and you my mom.... I truly mean that! Youll always be in my heart and thoughts.
If theres a casino in heaven I know youll be at the black jack machine, save me a seat, Ill see you when I get there. Your loving son, Craig ❤
