Mom, you have been there for me in every single solitary milestone in my life ... except this one! Only you and God knows how much I am going to miss you; how much I relied on you to guide me through the tough times and celebrate with me the good ones. You will always be with me.
I Love you mom...

Aunt Selma,
You were a wonderful Auntie. You loved and cared for me my whole life and I will miss you. I will share stories about you with your Chim Chim. I'm so glad she got to meet you. I only wish I could have made things better for you in the end but I know you are free now. They say to be absent from the body means you are present with the lord... so I have no worries I know you are safe and happy now. Until we meet again
