A letter to our Precious Momma and Memaw,
We want to thank you for all the wonderful memories we have made together over the years. We cherish each and every one. We have laughed and cried together through the good times and the bad. We have faced everything, hand in hand, as a family. It's been so hard to watch you go through this difficult journey. As we sit here today, hearts saddened by our loss, we also know that God has made you whole again. That brings comfort to us. In the early stages, you kept saying "I want to go home". That's exactly where you are now, home with Jesus. We ask two things. First, please watch over us and be our guardian angel. Second, when it comes our time to join you in Heaven, meet us at the gate with arms open wide. Goodbyes are final and since we know we will see you again one day, we will say "See ya later". We will miss you dearly and we love you so very much!
