My dear sweet Mother, the pain of losing you hurts more and more with every passing day. I know you're in a much better place that is free from any pain and any suffering and I'm thankful for that. You were the best mother that I could have had and loved me unconditionally even when I didn't always do the right thing. You never judged me and never gave up on me. I love and miss you dearly and that will never fade. I was lucky enough to have had you in my life for 50 years and I will cherish those memories for the rest of my life.

I love you Mom

Hope, This prayer was given to me when our sister Josie passed away. I say this every morning and I will be saying it for you also. God's Garden. God looked around his garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, so He closed your weary eyelids and whispered. "Peace be thine". It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone, for parts of us went with you the day God called you home. Rest in peace Hope. I love you so much. The memory I have of us will always be in my heart. Love you. Your Sister Shirley
