Cheryl, my heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Your mom was one of the sweetest ladies I've ever met. Though it's been years since I've seen her, I remember her fondly. She was so nice and kind. Just like you were blessed to have her as a mother, she was blessed to have you as a daughter. May the Perpetual Light shine upon your Mom. May God bless you and your family with peace during this difficult time.

No words can describe how I feel knowing you are no longer here on this earth with us grandma— as much comfort as I’m suppose to have knowing you are in a far much better place. I cannot help but be heart broken, and shattered that I am no longer able to physically see you or touch you. I cherish many memories and moments that only I have for myself those I hold dearly in my heart forever. I miss you so much I LOVE YOU ? Rebe
