There is a very special bond between a mother and her son. It broke my heart that your time here on earth is done. I want to say thank you, Mom, for all that you have been. You were not just my Mother, But also my best friend. If not for you, what would I have been?
A blessing is what you truly were to me! That is what I can clearly see. There are so many reasons why I love you so. I tried my very best to always let it show. There are no words that can express how I hate to see you go. It will be hard without you, this I surely know. I believe that God called you as He sat upon His throne and as you entered the gates of heaven, He said to you, Welcome Home! You now have a mansion of your very own. The love you shared here on earth, there is no measure of its worth. Your grandsons brought special mirth. That love grew more with their birth. And even though we will cry, the love and memories will never die and each time we look to the sky we all hold on that that love….this is not Goodbye! With all our love…..your family.
