Loving Mother, it's so clear; that each day goes by we will shed a tear. I wish we could hold you and hug you and give you a kiss. I wish we could tell you, how much you are truly missed. Even you gone, we know life must go on. In God we trust to help us be strong. It hurts so bad, that we didn't get to say goodbye. We all hope to see you someday, on the other side. All that we have now is just our memories to cherish . It's so hard to let go, and we know , and we know it seems selfish. You meant so much to us no one could ever understand. God loved you most that you were apart of his plan. You will never be forgotten, but always truly missed. Rest on loving Mother, forever your kids.
