“You were precious, a gift from God, your love left impressions in my heart that will forever live on. The beautiful memories we shared throughout our life mean the world to me. You touched my heart in so many ways. Even on dark days, your strength and smile made me realize I had an angel beside me. You were more than my Mother; you were my Dad and best friend. I do not know how I will do life without you. I will hold you in my heart forever. I’m grateful that God gave me you. I will love you forever.”
