Mother, Your love for us was a special gift, you gave so much so often. The beauty of your friendship could not be made, described, or measured, for it was a precious gift of the heart. Your incredible way of giving love in everything you did, makes your gift the best of all, the priceless gift of you. It is so very hard to say goodbye, we will cherish our memories of all the wonderful times we had, and with God as our strength now and always. This is our gift for you.
