My Heart!
Mommom,
You are the heart of this family and we all love you so much. I have always said you were the most special person in my life even from childhood. We want to celebrate your life with you! Your time here on earth is something to celebrate because you touched so many lives. We all look up to you in so many ways! The wife that was always by her husbands side, the loving mother that raised her kids with love, the grandmother who always stepped in to watch us and love us as her own, and the great grandmother that loves to kiss all our kids, share your chocolate milk, and even play fruit with them. Your legacy will live on through each one of us. And here are the things that come to mind when I think of you! From a little girl I have so many great memories of you.
