Mom ,
I don’t know how I’m going to do the rest of this life without you. It was nice knowing you were a phone call away. But now .. you are in heaven. Where there is no pain, no suffering.  There will be rest  In paradise with our Lord and Savior.   Rest easy mom. 
Until we meet again.   💔 

Ida

Mom,
I know your not hurting anymore.  I know your at peace and with our family already in Heaven.  But I do miss you. I feel love, and know you checking on us to make sure we are meeting your wishes. You know my thoughts and were so easy to talk to.  I am so gonna miss your voice saying my name and getting you to laugh. 
Missing you,
Brenda

I enjoyed our conversations, you were  a great listener. I could talk to you about anything without feeling judged. Thank you for always picking up the phone when I called, thank you for being someone I can vent to and most of all thank you for being a grandma and GiGi to Liam. We will always hold you close in our hearts.

My condolences to my nieces and family, may she rest in peace, may God bless the family in this trying  time,  God give you strength

I’ll never forget spending my summers with you. You would let me watch the same movies over and over again with no complaints. Thank you for helping me learn to cook and trusting me with using the stove when I was a kid. I love and miss you, grandma!

Life does not come with a manual, it comes with a mom.
We love you Mom, you rock , you are strong, vibrant and whole, simple , and perfectly you. Thank you for helping me be me, for supporting me with your time, and being there for all of our kids, grandkids, my blended family & my pets.

We mothers are learning to mark our mothering success by our children's lengthing flight.

I do not see as well without her . I do not hear as well without her. I do not feel as well without her. 
I will miss her.

A sister is a gift to the heart , a friend to the spirit a golden thread to the meaning of life .

Mom, 
Im so glad we had all the time we had together.  I appreciate every moment we had. I remember most you connecting with my children.  Them hearing your stories and understanding you better. We had many happy moments. We are missing you.

I am so grateful for the time we shared, and only wish we had more of it. May you always shine like gold in my memories, Grandma.

Rest in Peace, Grandma. I miss you so much, but I know you are now with God in Heaven. I love you.
