Mom: The memories are as numbered as the stars in the sky. Thanks for being an example of steadfast, unconditional love. Thanks for giving Tom and me deep roots so we could spread our wings. You taught all of us the value of family. I am at peace knowing your are exactly where you worked your whole life to be. I miss you! Love, Sheila
And Sheila your mom is at peace. A peace only found in Our Lord’s arms. She was such a neat lady!!
So sorry I was not there to show my respect for such a great lady. My mother and dad were such good friends of your mother and dad, I wish I could have spoken to her more often. When I did call she was really hard to get in contact with. I will always remember however, how gracious she was when she found out my mother had passed, and how comforting she was to me. I only have good memories about our contacts. Our deepest sypathy to the entire family. May God be with you all and draw your family closer together during these times.
