Mom,
I cannot put into words how much I loved you and will miss you for as long as I live. You were the most loving and caring mother a son could ever want. I am thankful the pain is gone you suffered for so many years. I am glad you are with Jesus now.
Your Son

Such a beautiful person, I know this must be a time of healing and pray, Revealation 21:3,4 is always a comforting thought to me and maybe it can help a little and bring comfort to the family. Again I am so sorry.

Mommy,
I will try and not grieve too much for you, for I know you are with Jesus. I will forever have sweet memories of our Christmases, spending the day at the shopping center, and our trips to Taco Bell. Love you and miss you with all my heart.
