Dear Mom,
We had such a hard time letting go and we believe you did too. But God finally came and took you home to be with him. We know you are in heaven and at everlasting peace, and will be our guardian angel to guide and strengthen us. We will miss your cooking and all the things you've done for us, but most of all we'll miss the wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and friend you were to all of us.
Love,
Your Whole Family
