You were our Mom and our best friend.

We thought we would have you in our lives forever ? Amen!

God took you from us and we are still feeling the loss.

We will continue to make you proud whatever the cost.

We laugh and we cry with a large void in our hearts.

We never wanted God to take you and keep us apart.

You will always be alive in us and others you loved.

We will forever have memories of you as we gaze at Heaven above.

We will honor God?s wishes until we meet again.

Our separation is temporary till we meet in that beautiful place you are in.

We miss our Mom, our best friend ?

Love you forever, your children, Amen!

Mom –

I cannot believe that today marks a year since God called you to Heaven. My heart still cannot accept the fact that you are gone. Missing you is an anguish that remains, but remembering you is rewarding!? It is a gratifying feeling knowing that a mother’s love never ends.? It is a love that never stops.? I continue to hear your voice, leading, guiding, and encouraging me. I always feel your presence and kind loving ways around me. The one thing that stands out the most in my life is the difference you made in mine. You changed my perspective on what really matters the most.? For that I will forever be grateful.

Mom, I know you know how much you mean to me, because I told you often.? I miss you greatly and my love for you will never end.? I promise to be courageous until we are together again!

Forever in my heart –

Your Baby Girl,???????????????

My Precious Mom:

I know you are not with us any longer in body but your spirit remains with me.? I want you to know I love you very much.

If I could have just one lifetime wish that would come true, I would pray for a repeat of March 29th, 2012 with you!? I will always remember that special night we shared together.? Based on that evening, I really felt we were going to have more of them. Mom, I miss you more than I ever realized.? Not a day goes by that you are not in my thoughts.?? I have many wonderful memories of you that keep me going.? You were a loving, caring and devoted Mom.? Your happiness in life was just knowing your children were all safe and doing well.? I was tremendously blessed to have you as my Mom!

Will forever love you and keep you close to my heart.

Missing you beyond words ?

Your Son,???????????????

Dear Mom:

One year ago today (March 30, 2012), you left me to join Jesus, your saviour, in Heaven.? You were the best Mom and my best friend!?? I miss you so much, but I know the angels are taking good care of you.? I will see you some day in Heaven.

Mom –

You and Dad are being remembered today with sadness and emptiness in our hearts.? Eighteen years ago God called the love of your life and partner (our Dad) home. This year you are together flying with the angels.? Our hearts still feel the pain and we are reliving our loss today.

We just want to say that we were truly blessed with wonderful, caring and loving parents.? Never a day goes by that you are not thought of.? You will always be remembered with beautiful reflections of the greatness we shared together as a family. ??While our hearts weigh heavy today from missing you, wanting a hug, or just seeing your sweet smiles; we will forever remember all the love shown us throughout our childhood and adult lives.? You were simply the best Mom and Dad anyone could ever ask for.? We feel very fortunate to have had you as our parents!?

Mom and Dad – You will always be loved and missed by us!

Love you much ?

Your Children
