I love you Mom!
Until the time comes for me to leave this world, you will always be with me and in my heart. I love you Mom! I will miss you dearly!
Love, Kathy
I met Naomi when I was 8 and she was 6. It was wartime, but we kids had a wonderful childhood. I lost track of her after her family moved away four years later. We reconnected by email in 2001 and emailed each other every day. I will miss her, but I cherish the years we regained as long distance friends. Rest in Peace, dear friend.
For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. ~ Romans 14:8
Your memory will live in our hearts forever. You will be greatly missed.
You are forever in my heart. I will forever cherish all of the memories. Love you Grandma!
Miss you Grandma! I will make sure I tell my kids all about you just like you wanted. Love you!
Mom, you’ll always be with me, I miss you but how happy and free you are now comforts me very much. Love you!
Love you grandma and will never forget you.
