To: My Wonderful Mother
A truly remarkable Lady! One who has always
touched my life in so many ways. I will never forget
the joy you brought into my life and your grandsons
life. I will never forget the times we shared together.
You were not just my mother but you were also my
best friend. You taught me how to be a wonderful
young lady and I will never forget what you have
done for me and my son. We are sad now that we
dont have you in our lives anymore, but I know you
will always watch over us both. I just want to say
thank you for being my mom, best friend, and shar-
ing your life with me. You will always be deeply
missed and loved by us both always. You may be
gone but surely not forgotten.
Love Always,
Your Daughter

To say goodbye to a friend like you.
For I dont know how to do it.
Goodbye, Sadie, my friend.
I will miss you.
Your friend and co-worker,
Thelma
