My dearest mom, how do I do this every day thing called life without you ? It seems impossible right now. I will surely miss our every day calls ( before 10:00 AM ) and the every night and every morning memes from you in my messages. I MISS THEM SOME MUCH ALREADY. I take comfort knowing that you are at peace and in no more pain. ( if only my heart would listen to my head) I will see you again some day . Until I get there Rest in Paradise. I will miss you every second of every day, until I see you again . With all of my love
your baby girl

Condolences to the Family
I was so sorry to hear of Alma’s passing. She was a delightful person who frequented the restaurant where I work. I always enjoyed her sassiness and spirited temperament. My deepest condolences and prayers are with you.
To my sister
I will miss when every time we talked you would always say " hello baby brother how's my baby brother doing " as it's always the little things that mean the most. Yes you were a feisty little thing but we all know deep down inside you kind heart with a soft and gentle sole. It gives me comfort to know that you're at peace and no longer suffering from pain from arthritis which you've dealt with for years and that you're in our lords kingdom with our mother, father, sisters, brothers and my son. Until the day the lord calls me home and we're together again I love you with all my heart. your baby brother
