To Our Loving Mom
Kevin - They s a y a smile can brighten your day; yo urs will now forever be with me.
Fawn - There is no one else like you, mom. It's only by God's Love I'm able to go on. Oh, how much I miss you! I love you, always.
Darla - If I had a million tongues, it wouldn't be enough words to express how grateful I am th a t God chose you to be my mother. When I take my last breath of life, I will always remember the Love of Christ in you, and how you passed it down to me. I love and miss you dearly.
s*V
Darren - If anyone asks, what is love? I would say the way my mother was to her family is love and the way I felt towarda my mother is Love. I m iss you, I Love you and you will always live on in my mind. I Love, You, mom and will see you again.
Jason - The la st worda I said to you, mom was "I Love You" over the phone from Minneapolis, MN. The worda th a t I will cherish hearing from you was also "I Love you, too" from you, my wonderful mother. I will miss you until I see you again.
Tiffany - Thank you, mom for loving me so much and teaching me the Word of God. I miss you and love you with all my heart. The bible tells us to train up a child in the way he should go and he will not depart from it. Mom, I will never depart from the Word of God.
Jonathan - Mom, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the love you have shown me throughout the years. Your prayers, love, kindness and memory will be in my heart always.
Amena - God blessed me with such a wonderful mother. A s I grow older in Christ, I hope and pray th at I will be as wonderful and a loving woman like you, mom. I love you mommy!
