You left us so many memories, to us you were dear, no matter when we needed you, we always found you near. You gave us all you had to give. But most of all, you gave us love; the greatest gift of all. You are a wonderful, precious mother. We love you with all our hearts and miss you dearly. You also left behind a precious grandson, who loves you dearly with all his heart and misses you already with his broken heart.
