Mom,
I love and miss you dearly. I will never forget just how much you touched our lives, with your loving and kind ways. Anyone that knew you would feel the same. There will never be another mother like you. I count myself extremely blessed to have known you and am proud to be your daughter. I know you are in God's hands now and that one day we will meet again. Until then... your loving daughter, Kathy

Keeping the family in our thoughts and prayers.
The Broken Chain
We little knew that day,
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death, we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you.
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And although we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

We will always hold you close in our heart and will miss you. We love you. Praise the Lord for his salvation and defeat of death. "Whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life." If I had to think of a special friend who was like no other; I'd think of someone near and dear who filled
My days with joy; My sister.
