No one was ready to say goodbye, your unconditional love, kind spirit and beautiful heart will forever live on. You were one of a kind, simple hearted, selfless woman of God. You always put everyone before yourself. A mother is what you were. The very best. Your eyes smiled, you were so beautiful, there is nothing you could change about yourself. You overcame obstacles that no one should ever have to face, but you did it with Pride and Dignity. Our mom is what you will always be, and we are so blessed that God chose you. Go rest high on your mountain, your work on earth is done.
