She has touched the hearts of many people and will continue to live on in all our hearts.

Mom, your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.

The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalms 34:18

It's a difficult task that a mother is assigned – To always be loving and gentle and kind … For there surely are times when she’d much rather be.

A little less busy, a little more free … But you’ve never quit, Mom, just because you were tired.

And these are the reasons you’re loved and admired … For you’ve given your heart and your “motherly touch” to your home and your family who loves you so much!
