Wife, Mother, Mother-In-Law, and Grandmother you will be greatly missed. Could anyone have loved their children and grandchildren more than you? You treasured each of us to the end. And you never complained even as the pain grew and your strength left you. We have learned much from the unconditional love and giving spirit that were your trademark. Go now and join the Heavenly Angels; for you have truly earned your wings.
