Mommy,
Not very many people understood how you longed to go home i knew it wasn't the earthly home you longed for but your heavenly home.
Your there now you went home even though we longed for you to stay you had to go.
What a joyful reunion that must have been when you walked through those golden gates.

We will love you and miss you forever but we all know your pain and suffering is over.
It will be hard but your family will be ok.

Until we all walk through those golden gates together and we will
