Guestbook
My lovely mother; it was a privilege to know you, call you “mom”, and care for you in your final days. You never failed to amaze me with your grace and wit. You carried my burdens, felt my tears, gave me good advise, I strive to be kind and caring for others as you have shown me. Your light will be forever in my heart. Dad finally has his bride with him again. May you travel together forever in heaven with the love and grace of God. I love you. ps: enjoy your hot pink socks and dance like crazy!
You were my rock, my light, my guide, my champion, my role model, my confident, my teacher. Thank you for these memories. I am shattered in my loss of you.
Mom, Aunt Chris & Aunt June – I am at a loss for adequate words to express my grief for you. You three wonderful women are a reflection of your mother in the way you treat people with respect and empathy, not to mention the way you make each person feel loved. Words, however kind, can’t mend your heartache, but those who care and share your loss with you, pray and hope for your comfort and peace of mind.
We all live you great Grandma
Great-Grandma always had a sharp mind. She had the best comebacks and the smartest remarks. I loved hearing her stories and laughing at the jokes she made.
Witty and charming, I am so lucky to have you in my life. Your presence is missed but our memories will always keep you in our hearts.
Mom, not a day passes that you are on my mind, in my thoughts, and in my heart. I miss you. 4 1/2 months seem like a lifetime but only yesterday I saw your face and heard your voice….”he was a good kid”. Love you Mom.
