Mom, my mom.How I miss you. You taught us to always think of the other person. You were always a shoulder to lean on and arms to help us when we needed them.I will always have you in my heart. You are the strength of each of us. You were here to guide us but God has called you back. You are with daddy and dancing the night away. Dance, dance and remember we will always be thinking of you.

My mom, my mentor. I love you and miss you. I thank God for blessing us with our mother. Her patience, empathy, and determination were attributes she lived. Now mom you are with dad, dancing, singing and playing cards together in the Kingdom that God has created for you.
