“MOMMA”

A mother’s love

Deeper than the deepest ocean, wider than the widest mountain

Your love was immeasurable; your love was unconditional

Your caring was endless; your spirit was infectious

Your smile was full of warmth; your touch was gentle

You taught us how to love, live and care

And for that, you will remain in our hearts forever.

Your body is at rest now and your mind is at peace.

We will always love you as your spirit dwells within us forever.

We Will Miss You!

Tv~ÇÉãÄxwzxÅxÇàDuring our season of sorrow, we want to take time to extend our

heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for all of the acts of kindness

extended to us during this time. The love, support, visits and phone

calls to our Mother during her illness meant the world to her and

our family. We are eternally grateful to God for you and the kind-

ness shown during the life and home going of our beloved mother.

It is truly a blessing to have the prayers and consolations of our

Church Family, friends and loved ones. May God forever bless

each and every one of you.
