“Mom and Grandma, we will miss you so very much. You came through a lot these past few years. We know you tried to be here to watch over us in the years ahead. Now, our peace comes from knowing that you have been received into heaven by our Loving Lord to be free from pain and enjoy eternal life with Daddy.”
