Our deepest sympathy to the family. Please accept our sincere condolence for the loss of your loved one. Life will be quite a challenge without them in our lives. Please, know that Jehovah God is a strong refuge for those grieving because of the loss of a family member. He is near to those who are experiencing distress (Psalms 9:9). May you have strength and peace during this time of great loss.

Words cannot express how heartbroken I am that you are no longer here. I am so thankful to have had the time we spent together on Sunday when you were smiling, laughing, listening to music, looking at pictures and enjoying your family. You always had a heart of gold and I will miss that the most. I was proud to have a wonderful, loving mother that you were. I love you and will miss you always. Rest in peace and god bless.
Love Cathy xoxox

Maize You don't know how much I am missing you already. I heard a story that when you where at the Pearly Gates u pushy everyone aside. "I'm looking for Elvis!" I know you are with Ma, Paulie, Auntie Agnes and so many other of our relatives. I love you Big Sister and u will always be in my heart.
P.S. Did you see my Sammie there yet?

Cathy, I'm deeply sorry for the loss of your mother. I knew her only through you but realized early on when you spoke of her what a wonderful, strong and courageous woman she was. The tributes from friends and family alike reaffirm the love so many had for her. I know that she suffered from illness for a long time. She is home now, resting well, healthy once more. Maybe she has met my mother Eleanor Barbara! A lot of good folks in Heaven. Thinking of you and Barbara.
She is in a better place and always in your heart.
Warm wishes, Linda Dumas
