Our mother was a strong woman and endured many of life’s most difficult challenges. She lived for, loved, and protected her children. In her silent ways, prayer and praise of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, she leaves us with a constant reminder of the power of faith and living God’s will.

Mom, please pray for your family so that our broken hearts and souls are consoled, and so that our sins may be forgiven. We love you. We miss you. You will forever live in our minds, hearts, and souls. We look forward to the day we are called upon when we are reunited in paradise with our God and his son our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ alongside you and our loved ones.

Good-bye mom!
