Mom You will be missed dearly. You had the heart of a lion. You were courageous, responsible, loyal, trustworthy, loving...as well as a leader, and would protect your family and anything that you took pride in and loved. Thank you for all of your warm hugs, kisses and sweet "I love you's". The beautiful memory of you will always live on in our hearts forever. When the sun rises and shines brightly, we will remember your smile. When we hear birds singing, we will remember the sweet sound of your voice that was filled with wisdom, love, and compassion. When we see the ocean tides we will remember the strength and courage you had to always protect us no matter what. You guided us and held our hand through our best and our toughest times. You were our strength, peace and tranquility. When we see the stars and moon each night, we will remember that you were the light during our darkest times. Mother there is no one like you, nor will there ever be, for no one can replace you, and now you are an angel in heaven watching over us.Heavenly father, please watch over our mother and shine your light on her soul, and let your love scatter the gloom of our hearts and bring her to the radiance of eternal life. We ask this through your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, for ever and ever.
