I already miss my mother with all my heart. Having gone through the illness she had,, I am certain she is happier with our Lord God. She was the strongest woman I have ever known. I and my family will always remember my mothers kind heart and smiling face.
Swift passage to the Summerlands, you will be greatly missed by all who new and loved you.
