Mom- you are the epitome of selfless love and patience. Right to the end you were grateful for every kindness and always uncomplaining through the last painful stages as cancer took you from us. You set the bar high for all of us to strive for. You treated everyone with respect and each person was made to feel welcome and special.
You and Dad were truly committed to each other with that undying kind of love.
Dad is waiting for you Mom for your first heavenly dance.
Mom, you will be so missed by all your children, grandchildren, sister, brother and all your family and friends. But we know you will forever be the angel on our shoulders and the wind beneath our wings.
