You are in our thoughts
as you find your way though this.
We are praying for your healing,
with the passage of time.
We know you miss your mother;
we send our understanding
and consolation.

will eventually ease.
May your pleasant memories
sustain and comfort you.
You are in our thoughts.

Mom, I know you hear me. I love you so much and I am going to miss you a lot. May the Lord grant Eternal rest to your beautiful soul. You loved God and gave us, your children, the best that you could. As you return to God, may he show you mercy and welcome you to that life that knows no end, no tears and no sorrow. Rest In Peace mom, you are the best mom in the world and I will love you forever. Minerva
