Goodbye for now, Mom. We love you and will miss you. We will strive to live our lives so we may see you again someday. The last several years have been your cross to bear, and Dad was always right there by your side. Even as we have seen the struggle, we can be assured, life is good. But to her death, we don't think it's an end, but that it is a new beginning. Now, Mom, Rest.
