I’ll always remember going to her house and playing when I was small. to her husband and children my prayers are with you, know that we love you all.
Mom I miss you so much. Everywhere I look I expect to see you. In my mind I know where you are and that one day I will see you again. But in my heart it just hurts to much. Thank you for all your boundless love.
Aunt Rosie always reminds me of Grandma England. My heart goes out to each of you. I couldn’t help but to think what a reunion they were having in heaven when I heard she passed. I’m sure she was meet with open arms from mom and grandma and many others. Prayers for you all.
I miss mom every day. She was so loving and kind. She had a great sense of humor too. I hope that someday I can put into words some of her greatness.I can’t believe how lucky I am to have such a beautiful and generous mother. In her honor I will do my best to go forward. My broken heart is still filled with her love.
I can hardly believe its been 9 months since I held your sweet hand. I miss you so much! Wish you were here for this new Spring. You made everything brighter.We were so blessed to know and be loved by our precious Rose.
Mama, the calendar says its been a year plus 10 days since you became spirit. All I know is that I miss you. Andso do many others. We keep trying to do as you told us and enjoy our lives. It isn’t easy without you here. Thank you for the wonderful family you nurtured.I love you.
My mother was such a beautiful woman. The kindest and most caring person I can ever imagine taught me so much. And the gifts she gave me of life lessons and love and unselfish examples of living every day ARE such a treasure that I know I am very blessed. So even though I still weep because I can’t see or touch you, Mom, I honor you on this Mother’s Day. I love you and will do my best to show your gifts in my days. I do so miss you.
