Dear Mom –

Today is a sad day for us. It will forever remind us of the extremely heart wrenching news we received of losing our sweet precious Mom. Our hearts will always be broken, but this time of year seems to hurt tons more. You always advised us to stay strong and now we know why. We needed the strength to endure losing you, Dad and Marvin.

Mom, you left us with beautiful memories and your love will continue to be our guide. The wonderful thoughts we have of you will forever be our treasures. We will continue to lock them within our hearts. We miss everything about you. You were such a wonderful Mom in every way. You always showed us how much you loved us. We felt your caring love then and still do today.

Mom, until we meet again, we will continue to hold onto all the great memories of growing up and our adulthood. Our visits home were the absolute best … great times we totally cherish with every ounce of our being. We sure do miss and love you, Dad and Brother Marvin.

Your loving children –

Sophia, Bill, Jack, Willard, BJ, and Wendell
