“If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever.”
We will continue to love you and miss you every day of our lives. We were fortunate to have such a wonderful mother, and our hearts are heavy with grief. You have left a hole in our hearts that cannot be mended, but we know that you have found peace and love that you so richly deserve with our Heavenly Father. We love you.
Your children, Susan, Nancy and David
