I havent had the pleasure to meet her, but I am sorry I hope she becomes an angel an I am sure she will, I am deeply sorry 😢
Leah
The face of love when I came into this world. With God’s grace and guidance, I was fortunate to call her Mommy. No one is ever truly prepared for the loss of a parent—the ones who care for us, love us, and help shape us into the adults we become.
I thank God that your pain is gone and that you are no longer suffering. You are at peace now, reunited with our loved ones. Beloved Jacob is with his grandma.
I thank God for the incredible woman I was so lucky to call my mother.
Sarah-Alice
You watched me take my first breath and I watched you take your last. Nobody can ever prepare for such a loss and emptiness. I take comfort knowing you are at peace and have no more pain and you’re with grama, Ed and Sandy. Thank you for being my mom, I love you mommy.
